Well, you could always make your own slot fan with some plastic (or some sort of flexible material), tape, and a nexus fan. Just use the nexus to pull air out and push it through the makeshift vent?

You definently want to get a pci slot cooling fan, The video card and cpu heatsinks are incredibly close together with the fan right there, so it might be that you have reduced air flow because of the size and space of them right there.
