Help, how can I slow this down on my GTX 570 - it's running over 90 degrees...

My command line:

cudaminer -o http://ltc.crypdough.com:9332/ -u user -p pass -i 0

I use MSI afterburner on my (non-MSI) GTX 570. It allows you to redraw the automatic slope for fan speed.
You can find it here: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/

Trough settings-> fan you can see the graph and adapt it.
I've set 4 point for my card:

30% at 30°
55% at 60°
85% at 80°
100% at 100° (but the Club3D GTX570 I have only goes up to 85%)

I set the fan update speed to 5000ms and a temp hysteresis of 1° to avoid constant 'flapping' of the fan speed.

This is running 24/7 at around 70° at 70% fan, with these options in cudaminer: -i 0 -C 2 -l 30x8, giving me around 226 kh/s.
Hope this helps!

edit: BTW, I run this GPU dedicated for mining, my desktop is using the internal graphics of my i5. If you are using your desktop on the card, I suggest using the -i 1 option.
