proper temperatures for 9800xt

[alphaunknown]

Hi guys! I'm just wondering what is the normal temperature for a radeon 9800xt. My card seems to be around 65 C when no video rendering is required, however the temerature shoots up to 75 to even 78 during gaming. Is this normal?

Looks like it runs on the hot side of the spectrum. As long as it's stable, I wouldn't get too worried, but you might want to do a few things like make sure your cabling isn't cluttering things up and use some compressed air to hose the thing out.
