I have a X800XT Radeon 256mb PCI-E. I checked the temperatures recently mainly as the weather is getting hotter and i wanted to see if my card was doing ok. Idle i usually get about 55-60 and in games 60-80 degrees C. Is this acceptable or is the card in danger of dying?

I guest not but that might not be a good sign. I recommend that you contact the compagnie to discover a better way to cool down the card. I sure know that they are fragile at high temperature. Well at the cost they are. I would not sleep well knowing a fan cool it down and realy suck at it.
