EVGA 8800GT

Just wondering if the temps on my EVGA 8800GT 512MB Dual Slot Cooler Graphics cards are acceptable. I use Rivatuner 2.24 to get temp readings, and have Nvidia 182.06 drivers. Ever since upgrading to the newer version of rivatuner and the new Nvidia drivers, temps seem to have gone up a few degrees C. It is also getting warmer here though as well, so room temp has gone up a bit.

Room Temperature = 24-27C
Ambient Temperature(idle) = 38-40C
Ambient Temperature (load) = 40-42C
GPU Core Temperature (idle) = 48-52C
GPU Core Temperature (load) = 52-58C
GPU Fan running at between 50-65% at these temps.

Also have Antec 900 case with intake fans(2 front 1 side 120mm) set at LOW and exhaust fans set at MED(1 rear 120mm 1 top big fan).

I also play Everquest with a resolution of 1440x900 and most graphical settings on HIGH or MAX. Not the most graphically intensive program IMO.

Ran ATI Tools Artifact test for 2 minutes. No artifacting. Temps under load got up to about 65-68C GPU Core and the GPU Fan kicked up to about 75-80%.

Just making sure these temps are acceptable, before summertime rolls around and it gets a bit warmer. Is 60C + temps safe on this card in case it gets a bit warmer in summertime? Thanks for any info on whether these temps are good or bad and/or acceptable.

Those aren't any problems. GPUs can take higher temps. than a CPU. You should be fine even if you ran at 80C. And why not set all fans to high and GPU fan to 80% That ought to drop temps. a few Cs.
