Optimal Temps?

[hauntedfury]

What are Optimal/Safe temperatures for the GPU and GPU RAM (got a 9600XT BTW)?

With stock cooling/no overclock, I've seen around 36c idle, 60c under load with the built in temp sensor.

I've got 48/50 (GPU/RAM) Idle...........is that Ok? ( yeah its very hot here nowadays )

I didn't think heat was that big of a deal with the 9600's, and I know my 9800 XT idles around 70c.

I haven't played with my 9600XT in a long time. It's in my T.V./Media Center comp.
