hi, a friend of mine has an x800pe and is wondering *** the max safe temps are rated at? he`s not sure if his card is on the way out but is now getting regular 90 deg temps full load.............any help *** be great.

Ant.......
 
That is a bit high, when i had one it used to idle about 43-44, and only go to about 65 underload, the heatsink might not making proper contact, or it may need a clean. :)
 
That's a little high!

The most I had on air was around 60, and it idled at about 40.

Currently on water and the highest it gets is 35 ;)

I'd take the existing cooler off and put a new layer of paste on and make sure the case ventilation is working ok.
 
Mine used to be at 40*c idle but since i put a zalman on it, its at 30*C now, under load 44*C, tell your friend to get a zalman to put on it if he is worried!
 
X850 XT Temps

My PC X850XT hits around 90degrees when you really push it with atitool. Had it up to 615/1290 and is stable for a benchmark but i just run slightly over stock most of the time and the fan never goes higher than 15% and under load stays under 50 degrees.
As said elsewhere, make sure u have good airflow in your case, and i say it never does any harm getting inside your case with a hoover! You'd be surprised how quickly dust builds up inside.
