I'm new to the Nvidia line of cards so I really didn't know what to expect, but something seems wrong with my 6800 GT.

The card is running idle at 64*. I haven't seen what it is at at load, but it has frozen-up on a screensaver before. It plays games fine, yet I have one graphical glitch in 3dMark05 and multiple graphical glitches in Windows (Part of my Opera browser will roll over black, for instance...dragging the mouse over these areas reveals them again, but I know for a fact that it shouldn't be doing this).

Is it normal for a 6800 to run this hot? Is the problem elsewhere? My case seems to have adequate ventilation, for my OC'd Winchester runs at 32* without fluctuation.

The card is running at stock speeds, by the way.
 
It's not that high. My GT at stock ran aroun 58C idle. With a silencer it runs around 49C idle. I wouldn't worry about it. Nvidia set the core slowdown threshold at 120C !!! That should give you a good idea of whether you're in a safe range.
