How did you get an 800 mm fan to fit in your case? That's nearly half as big as a full-grown human.

Jokes aside (I'm sure you meant 80mm), 50c or so (around 120f) isn't horrible - it's rather high for a 7900GS card, but it's not terrifying. A few of questions about your setup: What sort of cooling do you have in your case? How hot is the ambient temperature where your computer is? Does your computer have enough room to properly ventilate? What sort of fan setup are you talking about when you say "put an 80mm fan on top"? You just stuck an 80mm case fan on your graphics card, or is that a PCI slot card? What are your load temperatures? Have you checked to make sure your video card is properly clocking itself down for 2D mode during non-3D use?

Yeah thats normal

For a 8800 GTX, the normal idle temperature is 135 F with normal cooling
Its a bit lower with water cooling but you get the idea

Heres a thing that will help you out This thing is nice keeps ur gfx cool

Vantec Spectrum PCI Fan Card will fix the overheating issues and maybe allow you to overclock

It sounds like the gfx card's fan are not geting cool air its like choking the fans.
