GTS 8800 Protruding over mobo fan

[BeepBeep2]

HI, I just put in a Leadtek 8800 GTS with my new build, and it protrudes over my mobo fan,
therefore making my mobo run at 59-60c.

Any Help?

You need to relax. This isn't a chat room and not everyone will have a solution. Personally, if you are experienceing overheating the first step would be to improve the case cooling, the component cooling, and/or lower/remove the overclock. You can't change the physical fit so you have to do something different in the cooling arena.

its factory oc'ed
EDIT: I dont have a program to lower it.
and my cpu runs a 34c 40 under load now
the memory is stock too. the whole machine is stock>

Ah, I noticed the bold "overclocked" word in your sig and didn't read how it was used. My bad. What type of fan arrangement (size and location) do you have in your case?

i have a side intake fan, and a rear exaust. 2x80mm
cpu runs very cool, case stays under 41c

Is 80mm the largest fan you can install as an exhaust? A 120mm would move more air with less noise if you have room and mounting for it. You could then move that rear 80 to the front as an intake. But I would make those changes one at a time so you could properly evaluate each change.

yes i can install a 120mm and i think i will. my mobo fan is being blocked by my 2x size cooler on my 8800 gts

i had to move my hd to fit it...

Unfortunately, there's not much else you can do when the physical placement of parts confilict. ATX form factor may allow everything to fasten to a common template but that doesn't guarantee a lack of interference of some board level components.

it also puts alot of heat into my nb heatsink> so it blocks heat from the nb and sb

Can you link a picture from photobucket or some such pic hosting site? Might be helpful if we can see exactly what you're up against.
