that sounds a little high to me... I have the same card and idle at 60 with 40 ambient. Check that your case fans are pointing the right direction (If you dont have any you need some) and that the airflow isnt blocked by IDE cables.

Is that 68 degrees at full load? Mine idles at 60-62 but I have seen it over 70 at full load before.

Unless you are having stability issues, I wouldn't worry about it too much Hitz. You are going to have higher temps down in Florida than guys like Weasel and me in the frozen midwest.

If it's under warranty stress it to the max, better to know now if it's going to break.
