gt 530 overheating since 320 patch update from invidia.

Question

My PC is the predator g3610. Which has a gt 530. I've been playing world of warcraft since mid or late January. I had no problems until a week or so after the 320 patch update for my card. Ever since then my CPU overheats VERY easily. I've also seen reports that their update seems to be the cause. What can I do? I can't afford 110 or more to replace the **bleep** card. This is all nvidia fault! Or at least it seems to be. What can I do? I'm out of warranty too. Even so... nvidia's own update screwed me over. Is there anything I can do? ! I should also mention that I would play on "good" preset with wow. Now I can't or almost cannot play on the lowest of settings. My card will reach temperatures of 103 degrees Celsius quite quickly. Keeping the card cool is pretty difficult too. I have to sometimes  run the AC or use my large fan right on the case. ;/ does anyone have anything that can help me?

unfortunately this did not work. is there anything else i can try? even with locking my fps and lowering settings i am still maxing near 90 degrees. i'm sure that will climb as i do heavier things on this game... i really think nvidia screwed the hardware.

Uninstall the newer driver and go back to the original shipping video drivers.
