Have you removed it from pc and cleaned off all the dust?

The accelero coolers are really good though i am not familiar with that particular one.

I fitted an accelero extreme 7970 to a 280x that was hitting 80c within seconds and temps plummeted to under 50c and fans were near silent at around 80%.

May void any warranty though depending on make of card.

you can use afterburner to make a custom profile so that the fan speed increase more aggressively than the default setting

The card isn't worth spending any money on IMO. It's very much entry level.

I'd get the cooler off and replace the thermal paste.
