I've heard that those bridges get hotter than hell, and yours actually seems pretty tame compared to some of the other reports I have heard. I think it'll be fine.

damn thats a pretty cool idle temp on the gpu. i thought 6600gt cards ran much hotter.
 
My 6600GT idles at 48 in a very, very warm room. I do have a Zalman VF700 on it, though. Stock was a different story.
 
thanks for the feedback.
i didnt try gaming on it as of yet cuz of the agp bridge temp., it got me worried.
the actual reading on the bridge was 70celcius, but i was able to lower it down to 64 - 67 by scraping off the stock thermal compound and slapping on some arctic silver 5. :)
