Typical idle/load temps on a x1800xt w/ stock cooler??

Mine is idling at 59C right now and gets up to 90C or higher during Oblivion... is this normal? I reset the cooler with some Arctic silver based compound but I think the temps were a few degrees cooler with the Zalman paste I had on there. I have it overclocked at 675/1585.

Sounds about right, mine was doing the same before I changed the cooling on it. If you're in the north and it's winter time that heat exhaust on the back of your computer will keep your family warm

No joke. After an hour of gaming the heat coming out is ridiculous. I recently re-installed Oblivion and I forgot how taxing this game is.
