Good temp for a 6800 GT (?)

[DoomUK]

My 6800 GT runs at around 52 celsius (spelling?) when idle and around 72 celsius (!) after, say, a session on Doom 3. This is WITHOUT overclocking enabled.

Is this normal? Or should I be investing in superior cooling...

heres a few temps listed there, your temp sounds okay, but compared to them its lower -but they are overclocking,

off the record, this is my 200th post yay.

Thanks wayne.

Interesting to note though, and I should have mentioned this before, that my temps don't seem to increase much when overclocked (see below)- and I'm talking about a 5 degrees difference. Again, is this normal?
