I talked to my colleagues that actually build computers for a living (I work at a computer store), and they say 58C is pretty normal for these cards. They can go up to 80C without much of a problem.

I don't like the idea of the card running too hot, but they know what they're talking about, and they say it's fine...

(One also mentioned the olde FX5800, which could run up to 100C under full load.)
