Is that card at the bottom of your tower or case?

yes bottom. What is burning up tho? cgminer detects it as the lower temp ...

Id bet airflow dead spots at bottom of case maybe? open the side, and put a fan blowing in there for a bit. See if that drops the temp.

I had a junk cooler master PSU that got hot, and had a 5870 sitting in the bottom slot next to it... card was always 10-15c hotter.  Try putting a fan in the front of your case blowing air toward the intake of the 5970 (faces the front)... or if your PSU is getting hot, upgrade :)
