A 7950 temp question

Hey all.
Is 65C after an hour of Witcher 2 gameplay too hot?
My Sapphire 7950OC edition (950/1250) has never been this warm before.
BF3, Skyrim, Deus Ex, WoW, etc never push the card much past 60.
But the Witcher 2 is turning up the heat!
I don't have UberSampling on because that goes all Hulk Smash on my framerate. But everything else is at max 1920x1080. I run at 4xAA, 8xAF through catalyst control center along with Adaptive Multi-Sample AA. Haven't even tried SSAA yet, bet that'd get even warmer.

Of course the ambient temp in my room is quite high this month, lovely heatwave in Missouri :eek:
But still, should I be worried about 65 sometimes as high as 67C?

65c sounds fine to me... I remember my 6950 would hit over 85C

I have a 7750 and it gets up to about 68c load.

Ah okay sweet, thanks.

Wonder why The Witcher2 works the card so much. Even more than BF3 D:

I don't have Witcher 2, but at 1100/1400 my card typically only gets to 54-55C.
