hi my gpu is at stock speeds and is idling at a whopping 66C what should i do?

oh and PS i have an 8800GTS 320MB by EVGA
 
1) What monitoring software?
2) Overclocked?
3) Ambient temp?
4) Any airflow in case?
5) Is the fan blowing?
6) Is the fan locked at some low percentage?
7) Have you tried tightening the screws or reseting the cooler?

Try to reset the stock cooler, clean up all the thermal paste they pour onto the GPU, apply some of your own and check that your fan is not stuck at 25% on idle or something.

What is the load temp?
