How fast and how hot?

I was just wonder what people are getting from their 6800s and A64. Right now my whole system is running at stock speeds. So my BFG 6800GT is running at 58-62 C idle and my 3000+ 90nm is running 40 C idle are these numbers high?

I'm getting my Newcastle CG core 3200+ at 257x10, and my XFX 6800GT at 415/1150, video card idles around 56C, but I have a side intake fan blowing at it.

Your video card idles 56C at that speed i guess i gotta change my cooler on my BFG 6800GT. Also i read other threads that said the stock BFG cooler sucks.

If you don't experience any instabilities, I don't see why you'd need to change the cooler. You can't compare the temps in absolute terms.
