is a 68 average for a 9800 XT core 2 hot?

what are you using to cool that thing? stock? I have a 9800pro 128mb card flashed to xt and my idle temps are around 50°.
 
I wouldn't waste a nice 9800pro flashed to xt on a stock heatsink.... if you don't figure out the cpu heatsink you can always use a rev 3 vga silencer.... they work great and they're nice and cheap.
 
I'm still astounded at how low of an idle you get on that. I have the rev 3 and ram sinks and even extreamly underclocked I can't get an idle that low, I even lapped my vga silencer, its alot smoother.

Whats your ambient temp again?
