Mine seem to have crept up and up - even though I have blown out any dust that was in the heatsink.

Mine is now idling at about 55-57C ! eek - is this normal.

Not getting any problems.

Case is well ventilated - 1x 120mm fan on front, 1 x 120mm fan on side, and 1x120mm at back.

thanks, Mark.

Normal.

They run hot, but since they work fine who cares!
 
Got an X1800XT which idles at 49c with after market cooling (accelero2).
However, the case has no fans but one side is open...
 
Mine is idling at 48C right now, with environment temp at 42C. This is with the stock cooler that's been lying inside my PC for almost a year now. I've never tried to clean it and I don't know how, lol.

Could be your case temp that is too high. Even so, your temps are nothing abnormal.
