Not sure how to answer, but here goes...
Ambient: 29°C
Idle: 58C
F@H: 75-80°C (Stock 830MHz- top stable OC 959MHz, Nvidia auto fan ~50% ~2600RPM, the coil whine is more noticeable and annoying than the fans.)
The card will jump ship past 85°C.
Finally worked out how to get GPU Tracker V2 working tonight, and pretty much halved the processing for 500,000 steps (1%) for GPU folding. The old standalone GPU client was conflicting with GPU Tracker, and now finally I can see SMP folding at work ever if very slowly so.
Ambient: 27°C (The other day was a rather humid and slightly warmer.)
Idle: 37°C (Not even web browsing this time while I was letting the graphics card calm down to find the idle temp.)
Old standalone GPU client ~1min 30sec per 500,000 steps

GPU Tracker V2 3.52 ~50-40sec per 500,000 steps

Stock 830MHz-
903MHz-
959MHz-
981MHz- 
1010MHz-
(Yes I know I typed 1030 when it clearly reads 1010)


959MHz-


1010MHz-

Moral of the story... keep your F@H clients updated.
They run so much more efficiently, so much so that I ran from a stable but noisy (with extra whine) 903MHz to break the 1GHz barrier on auto fan for folding. But the 20,000 PPD is just teasing me.
