Temp. Reading On Video Card

I have a Dell Xps/410 desktop computer and I'm currently using a NX8600GTS 256Mb video card. The temp. reading is at 116c for the fan speed. This seem a bit high or is this about right? I have an Intel E6600 2.4GHz. core duo processor. If this is high how would I adjust the fan speed to cool it down a bit?

    If you are using the included nVidia System Monitor for your temperatures, then those are most likely false. It gives me wrong temperatures on my CPU so it's a bit glitched. 116C is pretty much impossible for an 8600GT as those run cooler than an 8800GT, and 8800GTs never get much higher than 100C. So I wouldn't trust nVidias system monitor for temperatures, most likely you graphics card temp is half of what the sys monitor says it is.

    Thanks X Matt X for that info. I seem to have read the very exact thing somewhere. The 116o was 116F not 116c which would put it close to 114F. Would that be closer to being correct? I may have stated it wrong earlier.
