Does anyone has this same Exact Card? What are Some Normal and Good Temps for this Video Cards GTX 260 Core 216 SuperClocked

Fan at 80% speed. When is Idle it runs 45C-48C when Gaming it runs up to 74C

Fan at 100% speed. Idle 40C-45C and Gaming depends the game 60C-70C

Should I always have the Fan at 100% speed when Gaming?

Looks fine to me. Those cards can take up to 105C. Keeping within 35C of that is pretty good, even though I'd recommend 40+ And yeah, 100% is better. Don't listen to all that about fan's life shortening.

See what they mean when they say ATIs are better? My 4850 runs at 42C idle and 60C load with automatic fan settings. Load temps. drop when 100% fan speed is set.

Not the exact same card, I have the vanilla, but I overclock to 686/1101.
80% fan speed - constant
23c room temp
41c idle
58-62c gaming

I run my vanilla 260 at 40% 52c idle and then turn the fan to 80% for gaming and never go above 68c. Tried the fan at 100% while gaming and was only 2c cooler than at 80%. These cards have a high thresh-hold for temps, as Rags mentioned.
