Is it the airflow which the fan provides or is it the heat-sink?
Yesterday, the fans which i have attach in the heatsinks of my BPPC and BVision, stopped spinning for 10-15 minutes, due to a defective wire. Both card were starting to crash (specially the BVision which after i become aware of the problem, i touched it and it was the hottest) and it wasn't a hot day at all. About 22c.
So, is the airflow the most important factor? Oh, and was i lucky that nothing got fried? :-D
