It varies from 39 to 60 degrees C.. I need a cooling system obviously, any recc.? Also, how dangerous is it to play with 60 degrees?
 
not bad at all. my X800GTO gets up to 80C. Gpus have higher thresholds than Cpus, so they don't blow until 125 or so
 
thats not bad temps. like everyone has been saying. my 7800gtx goes up to 70C and idles at 50C. if you really are worried about heat or plan to overclock you can look into the Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev.3, or the Arctic Cooling Acclero x1.
 
to check cpu temt boot pc down and go into bios it will be in there some where maybe under pc health or power options

You worried about thos temps?? Those are perfect. I know alot of people who would love to have temps like those.

Im assuming the threshold for a 7800GTX is the same as othernvidia cards, and thats 128*c so as you can see, your along way off. Although would be nice if someone can confirm this as i dont know for sure
 
if you'd like a good GPU solution, the nv silencer is very nice... it lowered my case temps as well :)
i never get above 45C in the winter and i still have yet to find out for the summer, but im sure it'll barely hit 50C :)
my 78GT is set to slow itself down once it gets to 115C and those are default settings... ive tried to change it but it doesn't work (like it would matter look at the temps im getting :) )
