I don't have ideas how intall fan on that GPU. i'm sure that if there will be fan then not be 80C when i playing rfactor. But it's silent gpu, so there is no fan

What about the case's panel that you took off? Can you install a fan there?

You mean in front of pc? I'm using colling fan control panel, but down is two slots posible for panels or cd-roms. So you think that will cool down my gpu?

I have the exact same card and it runs a little hotter than a actively cooled card, it uses a giant heat sink to dissipate the heat generated by use, mine idles at 45c an jumps to 65c when I am gameing there is nothing unusual about that. If you are worried about the temps I would get a after market cooler.
