Graphics card temps, Too high?

So I have a 7950GT factory over clocked a few MHZ here and there. It Idles between 52 and 55C, and under a load it is up around 75C.
My processor idles at 29/30ish for both cores.
Is there something wrong with it or is it just a hot card ( Ive cleaned the dust out of the fan, and my case has 2 92mm intake fans an 80 MM intake and a 120 rear exhaust.

it's ok, GPUs are designed to get much hotter than CPUs. Than can go up to 80C without any trouble. I'd worry at 100C; even so some cards can go above 120C without permanent damage.

My 7950GT is idling at 57C.

Wow!! My temps on my 8600gt get to a max of about 51 and idle at 40-41 and thats running at 700mhz+. It should handle it though. Your cpu temps are about the same as what I get.
 
3 intake and 1 outtake probably isn't the best airflow situation. If you actually take out one of those intakes, the most ineffectually placed, you might actually see a slightly lower case/component temperature.
 
I have 6 fans total but on a stock HP case so thats why. I have 2 on psu, 1 on graphics, 1 on processor, 1 on side sucking air in, and one on the back pushing air out!
 
i know gpu temps are usualy high and theyre okay at around 57c but i just wouldnt like those temps idle.

my 8800GT idles around 39-42c and on load around 61c.

i tested it last week and playing cod4 it never went over 61c
