Over heating

Post details of temperature and also post detailed pictures of your cabinet (front and side). You can add one fan as exhaust at the back of the cabinet (probably 120mm) which will help. Also passively cooled card tend to heat more than ones with active cooling. As for the cabinet, you can look for NZXT Gamma (best cabby under 3K IMO) or CoolerMaster Elite 430. But first post the details. Include a GPU-Z screenshot to better judge the temps.

YEs there are spaces for two fans .
1st on left side panel , in front of Cpu fan.
2nd on backside for exhaust ,

But both fans can not affect Graphics card.
There is no pressure on my graphics card .
And its Temp. is always between 65-75celcius.

@ Op - install a 80/120mm fan at the rear as exhaust and one 80/120mm ont the side panel as intake. I can you can also fit a 80mm fan at the bottom part of th side panel though you may need to create some holes using a driller to fit screws.

thats really really hot. & a passive cooler can't be blamed fully. go with topgear's suggestion & if you can (& want) buy a tube of TIM (Nano, Fusion, Arctic Silver, etc), remove the heatsink of the card & reapply a fresh coat of TIM. fit the heatsink again.

TIM => Thermal Interface Material. It may be a bit risky though to remove the heatsink and apply it if you have never done it before. Better do what topgear has said. If you can get the holes right or drill a couple, you may use the lower vents of the case to install another fan to blow air directly on the GFX card.

Another question, GPU-Z is showing fan speed at 30%. Where's the fan comes in a fanless card?

^^ That may be what fan speed was set in bios settings of that gfx card ( though it don't has fan ) and GPU-Z is showing that or it mught be a GPU-Z bug

@OP, applying the TIM will reduce the temps..
For TIM, get CM thermal fusion 400 - Rs.350, its readily avail...

Get 2*80mm fans n install it as side intake n rear exhaust... Hope this helps...

If u are not satisfied with the results, Do as DESIIBOND said

there's a another way to reduce temps :

Op can try attaching a 80mm on the gpu heat sink using some kind of tape or zip ties and that should lower the temp for sure.

you are taking the shortest possible route to solution ;)
