What temps are most people getting when running their Radeon 9800 Pros (OC'ed or not)?

My case is jammed with stuff, and I am working on airflow as we speak, but I am trying to get a sense of what are safe operating temps for my vid card.

I have a Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro set at 411/366. The standard temps run around 35C. When playing games or rendering, it runs closer to 47C.

Is this high or normal?

I really don't want to do water cooling, only b/c with my sweet (absence of) mechanical aptitude, the thought of mixing expensive electronics and water still doesn't sit well with me.

Am I in a safe zone here or should I swap my 9800 hsf for a third-party one?

Thanks in advance!
