Cooling problem

[Leon]

Hello,
i have bought a Aopen Geforce 6800 GT 256 Mb video card and also a Artic NV 5 Silencer rev.2. So i installed the cooler on my videocard and when my pc is idle i have an average temperature of 65 degrees. When i play games like battlefield 2 for example my temp. raises till 72 degrees. Is the temperature fine or is it bad? Btw here are my specs.

Specs:
Intel P IV
Cpu 3,0 Ghz
1 gb ram
150 gb maxtor

Greetings,

Leon

the 6800gt is designed to run much hotter, no worries at all

Agreed. From what I know vid cards can withstand much hotter temps than a cpu. A 7 degree temp swing doesn't sound too aweful to me, but my knowledge with video cards is limited.

Thanks guys both for you replys
I was a bit worried about it because it was the first time i installed a cooler and a video card.
Your help is very much appreciated
