I just downloaded GPU-Z to check my video card temps (8800GT), and it's running at 60c on idle. Is this normal? I've had the card for a few months and played loads of games and it's never had a problem, but now this has me wondering. The fan speed is only 30% atm so maybe it'll increase under load, but I don't want to do that just yet until IU know it won't blow, lol.

That temp is normal for video cards, especially those with single-slot coolers like the 8800GT. If you've had no problems with it so far, you have no reason to worry.

Yeah, My GPU has an idle of 50 and a load of arround 75. You're good as long as the temps don't crash the system.

Agreed, you should be fine with those temps. Don't worry about it.
