Out of the few cards that I've tried overclocking for some extra umph, the 8800GTS 640MB card was the one I could push the hardest without having to do any volt moding. Cards I've had in the past 7600GT, 8800GTS 640MB, 8800GTS 512MB. 7600GT: was able to up the clock speeds about 100MHz each before it ran hotter then I liked or became unstable. 8800GTS 640 (I've heard this is basically a dumbed down version of the 8800GTX card, which might explain the ability of it's high overclocking range): I was able to adjust the clock speeds a good 200MHz each. Stock clock speeds were 513/792 (core/memory). I was able to run stable at 724/1003 on that card. 8800GTS 512: I have two of these. One I can push the clocks about 100MHz up, the other doesn't do well at all with overclocking. In the end, all cards are a bit different. My 8800GTS 512 cards are of the same model from EVGA; one overclocks good, the other hardly at all. It just all about trial and error.

Generally you don't want your video card to run over 85 Celsius, especially at long intervals. Try to shoot for around 75 and under. If you don't like the temps and feel they're too high, you can adjust the fan speed; set it for 60-70% and see if it helps.
