It's around 80c when I'm gaming and I've done it this way the last month but I just bought a new graphic MSI N460GTX Hawk OC + RAM.
Can it damage my computer I don't know a shiz about overclocking but I did it because the card sucks lol? ^_^

[quote=djpinc19]The temperature readings look fine to me; the numbers to fear are not 60-70, but 95-100 during which the video card will either slow down or shut down to protect itself. Load temperatures will not damage the video card nor the rest of computer if the components have proper ventilation. Your new card will probably hit 70*C under load based on a Google search for some GTX460 temperature tests.[/quote]
Alright thanks :-).

[quote=x1king1x]Thats a pretty high temp,, i think you overclocked to max potential..
i would lower overclock,,, cause that can lead to your gfx breaking etc if it keeps at 80c,,,
make sure its 60-70 at the max[/quote]
My new card got 4 heat pipes and 2 cooler things. So it shouldn't get to 80c
