    Normal idle temps in an XPS410 were 60-62c, load temps went up to 80c. By adding two 80mm exhaust fans on the back you can shave 10c off of that.
    You can google Gainward ExperTool for overclocking and I believe gpu fan control. Up the gpu fan till the sound is noticeable( about 75%) and you should be able to take off a couple more degree's.

    In addition to the Gainward ExperTool for overclocking suggested by contrvlr, the link below is for the new RivaTuner 2.1 overclocking tool and has the fan control as well.

    Interesting.  I was wondering how much my 8800gts (640mb) was underperforming due to my setup.  I idle at 54c and max has been 65c.  I'm still very happy with the card though.  Huge performance increase compared to a x800xt.

    Mine Idles at 53-54C, on load about 63-65. Max scaning for artifacts with ATI tool was 70C. I got my fan speed set at 85%. Anything 80C or over you should be worried.

    My case is different, I run 61 at idle and can reach 90 at full load, and the alarm is set at 110. Just for precaution. I've seen  a huge spread of these temps. Your fine. But if you take the exaust advise it will help with cooler temps. You can add in several types of exhaust fans, from Pci slot ones to case mount, whatever you have room for.

    My 8800GTS runs at around 52-53C idle and around 63C load.   I followed convir advise and added 2x 80mm in the back of the case.    I dont know what my idle temp would've been if I didnt add those 2 exhaust fans since I got the fans before the card...  but they do push out good amount of air so...   I won't be surprised if my idle temp reach 64C idle without those fans on.
     
    I just checked my temp...    it's at 50C
