I just found this!
My video card is running at XX degrees Celcius! Is this bad?!
Not at all. Graphics cards these days are rated to around 100C! For instance, people who fold or game heavily could see their GPU(s) reach upwards of 90C. This is normal, they can withstand the heat - it's like apples and oranges compared to CPUs, where 75C is the danger-zone these days. Don't panic!
I'm still really uncomfortable running my card(s) over XX Celcius!
If you're really worried about temps over say 65-70C, you could turn your fan up to 100% on your card. If that still isn't good enough, well, you could always watercool it or buy an aftermarket cooler.
When should I be worried about temperatures?
Most would tell you about 105C is the point-of-no-return. Realistically though, for everyday use, you should not exceed 95-98C for extended periods of time.
How can I monitor my temperature on my GPU(s)?
You could use apps such as CPUID's HWMonitor, and in addition you could use eVGA Precision to monitor your temps as well.
Keep in mind though, these chips ARE rated to run at these temperatures!
If you're running below 90C the majority of the time, don't panic!
from 37c to 39c @idle... init2 na jd, ako lawas 100C nasad kelangan WC..haha
idle temp is 42c, max 50+c. come to think open na ang side panel..
ako 6970..idle nya 40-45 degress..but if mag duwa nako 80 degress na...so ako permi buhaton i raised the gpu fan speed to 60-70%..ang effect the temp goes down to 60-70 degress max..bahala na saba ang fan sa gpu..ehehehe

ako kay 0c ang ma.detect kay onboard pman ako gamit... heheh
full load 72deg @ fan speed 90% here 24/7 akong gpu working non-stop @ day.
inig night mo obos ug 2 deg.kong mag aircon mo ubos 60 deg.
i hope di ra kau init ang msi twin frozr 2... hmp
HD 6950 (unlocked to HD 6970): Idle temp is 45 degrees.
