It fluctuates between 31 and 43 idle on boot-up. Is this odd at all? What temperatures are everyone else getting? My old Zotac 460GTX 768MB get a constant 36, so I find this odd.

Yeah, but it's still like that afterwards too. Like, sometimes the room will be warm, and the card's at 31 and sometimes in the morning, when it's cool, it'd start at like 43.

Replace the thermal paste
see if that helps or maybe the program you are using to figure the temps out is a bit dodgy?

I'm using X Server and the nvidia newest driver. I just got the card though, doesn't that void the warrantee?

Not too much, once it starts causing problems, I'll take the heatsink off to see. I just wanted to see if anyone else had an idea since I just got an account. How does one even even get bad readings from software?

The nvidia software in Ubuntu is know to report buggy temperatures on some cards. I wouldn't be too concerned. Take the more reasonable looking temperature as the right one.
The newer versions of nvidia-settings have fixed this, but they are not out on ubuntu yet.
I wouldn't recommend upgrading to non-standard ubuntu packages to fix this though, especially not with something as important as your graphics settings unless you're confident you can fix any broken packages through CLI.

A 420W Startech PSU. But, opening the case dropped the temperature too.
