do you have the reference designed card ? dose it look like this http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-660ti/product-images or is the fan a regular one if its not close to this one then you have the wrong design for your case.

Huh strange that looks like a standard card that should not be in there all x51 should have a reference designed coolers i would call dell and ask them to make sure the wrong design did not get in there, because it sounds like a overheat issue. See if you dont have a reference designed card inside the x51 it will just blow the heat into the case causing overheat issues.
