My GeForce 2 gets hot & the graphics freeze after just a few minutes of graphical work (ie scrolling / moving a window)

When I go near the cooling prong thing I'm having to take my hand away because it's so hot!

I've got the case open in front of an open window, letting in a freezing wind, but that only gets a few more minutes out of it...

Is there any way of underclocking it? And I'm not sure if it's related but can /dev/nv* be used?
