Its celsius. Once you get to 90C, back off the OC. Right now I'm running at 48C. Sadly, the X1950 Pro crashes when I OC.

I was asking the above poster if he was reading his temps with celcius or farenheit. 110 sounds pretty extreme.

Use Coolbits. It is a registry hack, that lets you overclock your card with the NVidia Control Panel.

GPUs can handle a lot more heat than processors.. so you're fine :)

My X1950Pro also doesn't seem to like being OC'd :(

To my knowledge, you need to raise to volts on a X1950PRO to OC it, which is a bad idea for many reasons.

Sorry, with a fair bit of googling and searching my post history I was unable to find the tutorial someone linked. I'm sure you'd find it eventually with google if you wanted to look for it.
