The motherboard and CPU seem to keep a temperature of 32-35 °C.

What would i need to keep the GPU under 60 °C at all times?
I dunno which parts would fit the card.

Also, is there a way to control the GPU fan speed in the Catalyst Control Center?
These things like their 4850's brothers are known to run up to 90C without any probs but they're (as far as I know) running in well ventilated cases so it could be more useful if we knew what case you are using seeing as you are removing the side panel (these are highend cards & do require cases with fairly good airflow).

Also as stated before, ATITool or RivaTuner can increase the speeds of the fans as they are set rather low.
