Video cards are disined to withstand hot temperature. This temperature is many times hotter then you CPU. Old 6 series of nVidia are know to run much hotter then the new 7 series. ATI grapic card, i dont recomend it. 6Series can run up to 80 C which is OK.
If you are running hotter then 80C you can invest on a trhird party heatsink and some AS5. You can run up to 100C-120C but, you probably don't want your video card to be that hot for 24/7 usage.
Zalman VF-700cusilencers are one of the bst. With this, your your temperature would be running on 5-10C lover then with stock cooling. You should be able to overclock you video card now.
Cp\PU's shouldn't be running higher then 60C. AMD CPU runs preetty cool.
What is you computer temperature now? Is it cool enough? What kind of CPU are you using? What do you use to make it cool?

What I do is I place a well-reputed cooling system to replace the stock cooling system. Cathode-ray lamps are effective and will make your PC look cool (especially the blue ones). =)
