This is the card that I am referring to: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814133204
48-50° C idle
60-64° C right after or while playing Lost Planet for about 40 minutes
The reason I use those numbers are because those are the maximum and minimum values I read on the nTune monitor when Idle and under load.
I currently have 6 fan excluding processor fan installed: two on the side panel blowing in; one in the front blowing in; two on the top blowing out; and one in the back blowing out. They're all 120mm fans. I also have a PCI graphics card cooling fan.

Yup, that's normal. I get similar temps on my factory overclocked 8600GT (600/1600mhz).

Yeah that sounds about right. Most of the less recent 8 series cards are very hot running usually, especially OC'ed, highest I've seen is 90C, but these cards are built tough, you shouldn't have to worry. Only problem is it will get hotter in your room the hotter the card runs.
