What are your temps

Last night I had to put a fresh lick of thermal grease on my GPU heatsink, my temps at full load were hitting somewhere in the 80°C range. Afterwards they dropped to 66°C at full load. I just wanted to see what temps everyone else allows their card to run at. Name your card and cooler as well because I remember my 66OO GT would not tolerate any temp above 70°C. If you have an overclock give it in % above the original stock clock speed. Hopefully my grease has a good burn in period and temps should drop a few maybe to 62°C after another 150 hours or so.

My temps currently on my Sapphire X1900XTX with a Zalman cooler (can't remember the model)

66°C @ Full load

40°C @ Idle

Idle Temp are 48C for both of them

Loaded Temp around 80C, if i open the case they drop to 75C

Seems pretty warm kid, have you overclocked the cards or are they stock?

My 4870 sits in the high 70s at desktop. Idk off the top of my head what it is at load, but I'll look when I get back to the house.

Yup i got them a 820/1251 both!

My E6600 with a 33% oc with a 9700LED is 45c/65c

My ASUS DK 4870 with a 15% oc sits at 55c/70c

GPU temps can get much higher than CPU safely.  80 Load is not horrible at all, but yeah that's a little warmer than I like.  I once accidently disconnected by coller on a Radeon 3850 and I was playing CoD 4 maxed out and my GPU was at 100 C for several minutes.  No damage, no artifacts.  A few minutes more and I probably would have, certainly, as that is boiling.  I'm pretty sure most GPU's began being permanently damaged at 98 C.  That doesn't mean you should be happy with a 90 C GPU Temp, but anything less is acceptable because you're not gonna get damage at say 80C unless it's there for an outrageously long time.

My Radeon 4850 idles in the upper 30s and loads no higher than the 60s.
