Nah, no where near.

My old amd64 ran at 70 in windows and used to turn its self off when it hit like 95, that was overheating/poor cooling.

before telling you, what is the spec of your system?cpu and gpu?

65C is not overheating temperature if you using stock cooler especially

It's totaly exaptable temmperature!

u can use RIVATUNER to control cards fan speed manualy,
mine idles at 50C on 40% fan speed, 40-43C on 50%, while gaming I set to 70% it keeps 55C...
so try this program to control manualy gpu's fan speed!

for AMD- get better cooler if u not happy, but if u not doing Overclock than it's ok!
