2x 8800GT... reached 80 earlier today w/ CoD4 (fans set at 60%). Just curious if there's anything i need to be worrying about. Ample case airflow, probably around 29 case temperature, and not too much room for aftermarket coolers.

80 is fine. 100 is really the danger zone you want to stay away from.

90 would already be pushing it IMO... but if your computer isn't blue screening and your drivers aren't freezing up, I guess you should be fine with 80 on the GPU.

Yes, that's fine. Lower would always be better since 80C can tend to warm your room up a bit :P, but it's nothing to worry about at all.

That's not okay, that's fantastic.

if you don't upgrade that often, I recommend buying the zalman vf 900 for your 2 gt's
