Simplepsy, the whole point is to have a fanless graphics card (which is what the Gainward 8500GT SilentFX is).
Since adding my post here I discovered another Anandtech forum thread about this particular graphics card:

so to avoid double-posting I'll continue in that thread, since my issue now is the graphics card rather than the motherboard.
But I think you are right about the airflow being the problem. It shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
