My old 8800gts ran in those temp ranges as well.  As long as the card
stays out of the "red" areas that the nvidia-settings tool reports...
slightly higher temps aren't that big a deal.  It can be annoying in a
laptop configuration though as it becomes anything but "lap".

You may want to open the case for yours and get a can of air to blow it
out though.  The higher temps there could be due to a fan port blockage,
or gunk slowing down the card fan a bit.
