What are safe Video card temps ?

Well my GTX 295 is idling at about 50 (fan set to 70% fixed) and was up around 72 folding.

72c with the Fan at 70% is excellent (depending upon your Room Temp). That is a "single Card" in that Case therefore I would expect those Temps. I can guarentee if you throw another 295 in thier you'll be jacking that Fan speed up to 80 - 90 %............

This is why I wish I had WC......

Room is around 23C.

I too wish I had WC... but I am not quite ready for that yet. I have a feeling I will do it one day, start small with the CPU and go from there. The HAF 922 should be able to handle the extra stuff in it. Until then though, I am pretty happy with my setup so far!
