i'm sure it could've reached 120 degrees

it's an MSI X800XT 256mb with stock cooler

Thats not good. Either that temp sensor is wrong, or your cooler is damaged/not seated properly. I'd be checking its seating/verifying that its actually running that hot.

but it hasn't crashed for 22 minutes.

this is actually my brother's computer and he takes shit care of it. games started crashing a few minutes in starting a couple months ago, and instead of trying to fix it he uses someone else's computer to play his fucking DOTA warcraft game, so that i can't go online

so i'm trying to decide what to do with it

Well if games are starting to crash that is a sign that temps might be too high, best to reset the heatsink with some new thermal paste.

Check the fan is still spinning.

Is that the gpu or the vrm temp? Anyhoo hows the ventilation in your case?

I'm sure that can't be good for the solder joints.

Usually 100* c higher than that to melt solder.

I'd stop using the card immediately or else you may run a risk of catching fire inside the case which is not a good thing.

Reseat the cooler/reapply new thermal paste, like others have said. If the fan is spinning, it must be loose.

i was just amazed at it so I just decided to share

LOL, I had a Geforce 6600 silent version that ran at 115C. Once it hit 120C, it burnt up. I had to RMA it about 5 times before they sent be a different model.
