NVIDIA Card Temperature (is this temp safe)

Hey

Many of you know Im having overheating issues, but I don't know if its hot enough to be dangerous. When I looked up my temp in BIOS Setup it said CPU Temp: 65C and M/B Temp: 49C, This is having run it for about 6 hours and playing games on my computer.

Now this morning I found something else in the nvidia 6600 settings, I found a temperature thing, it says the actual GPU Core Temperature is 79 degrees, Core
slowdown Threshold(which is the max temp before it notifies me) is 145 degrees

Now I know it wont get up to 145C, should I lower it? Is 79 Degrees C Too Hot or does the above look ok and wont damage my pc?
 
CPU looks too hot... depends on what model. Motherboard is fine. Is the video card idel or load?
 
GPUs can take a beating and it's really nothing to worry about if it gets to ~100°C when playing games. Is the 79°C temp idle or load?. Now, your mobo and CPU temp are very high even after you have had it on for 6 hours and playing games. What CPU do you have anyways?
 
id worry more of a cpu at 65C than a gpu at 79C.
well, id worry about the same for both. those temps wont allow your computer to last much more then 5 yrs. (new) probably.
my cpu temp never goes above 56C, and i o/ced a ton. my GPU temps don't even get that high (48C tops)... but i never overvolted my video card.
overvoltage will cause heat, not frequencys normally.

what cpu do you have?
 
I don't know much about computers but I'll try:

My Motherboard is SiS something or rather, Porcessor: Intel Celeron 2.40 Ghz, 256 mb ram, XFX Nvidia Geforce 6600. CPU Prescott 800 (someone mentioned prescott over heats alot?).

Also Over the AGP Slot I got some kind of red sticker saying something like : do not insert a card over 3.3V into this agp slot. I shown that to the guy I got it from and he said yep ok before ordering it in, But that person was a teenager (still learning).

The owner of the shop that I rang said its harmless and its only a problem when the computer freezes, and another person from another computer shop said it will harm the motherboard and I will have to get a whole new computer. The owner of the shop I bought it from could just be saying its harmless because he doesn't want me to return the card and get my money back lol.... thats why I turned to here. I hope this told you enough.
 
Prescotts can handle a lot of heat. For instance, my processor was running at 80C load there for a while. Don't worry too much about your processor or video card temperatures. Your GPU can stand suprisingly high temperatures.
