Is everyone's 7900GTX running at 129 Degrees

I am a noobie, this is my first post, so be patient. I am running dual 7900GTX video cards in XPS Intel Duo Core 6400@2.13ghz with 4 gig of ram. At idle the cards are 110-115 Degrees Fareheit. Is everybody's cards running this hot?

I just had to make a quick replay. Is that 129°F? Then that is only 54°C which is just fine for idle.

If you open the Nvidia control panel and monitor temperature levels Green is Ok, yellow is caution and red hot is not good!

Just quick, but I rarely see mentions of cards pushed hard and breaking 85°C
So if its 129°C that would be terribly hot.

110 - 115 F is a very good Idle Temp. for SLI 7900GTXs.  That's 43 - 46 C, my SLI 7900GTs only Idle at 41 - 43 C and that's with Zalman Coolers.  You are doing very well with the stock coolers.   My cards did about 47 - 49 C on the stock coolers.
