mine is constantly at 45C with the fan at 50%. I turn it up to 100% when gaming and it stays around 40C

I also clocked mine pretty good too. Core Bus is at 742 Mhz and Memory bus is at 1003 Mhz so im sure it was cooler before I clocked it, just dont remember what it was at.

should i overclock?

you could for sure, I noticed a big difference in mine. I had no idea what to overclock mine to so I went on forums and someone was saying the max he could get his 8800GT card to was 742 and 1000 so I set mine to that and works great. Haven't tried to go any higher.

It has never went back to the original settings for me, im sure its like a cpu where there all different and some will be able to get pushed further than others.
I also used RivaTuner, I was told not to use the nTune program from Nvidia. Sorry forgot to mention that.
