My case has a 120mm fan in front,a 120mm at the back and a 80mm on the side.CPU temp shows under idle 28C and under load 33C.Now my GTS250 shows 55C under idle and 63C under load.Is my GPU not rynning hot?BTW my case is a raidmax sagitta.

It's about right, my crappy GPU sits at 62°C on idle with the same cooling configuration except with all 80mm fans, CPU at 48°C, system at 41°C, HD's at 35°C.
 
63C is not bad at all, possibly have some room there to overclock if you want.
I have had a few GFX cards that sit at 90C under load.
 
My PC runs, according to CoreTemp, at 62/63 per core.

I'm not sure if that's normal or not, but it's pretty much always been that, even when I'm gaming.

All stock.

E6600 with stock CPU fan and a 7600 GT gfx card.

GFX temps not cpu :P
My 4870X2 ran at 55C Idle and hit 80C under load (stock fan speed)
With the new cooler on it though it doesnt go over 66C load.

7800GT (still working BTW lol) used to get to 92C when under load. (case was a CM stacker)
8800GT got to around 95C. (my current case Antec 1200 without side 120mm fan, side fan made a big difference though)

I find all my single slot coolers ran at extremely high temps.

GFX cards can run much hotter than CPU's.
I remember reading about a bad batch of GTX 280's that got to near 100C O_O. i would have died if i saw that!
 
My card was getting to +- 103 at one stage.
New drivers seemed to have sorted that out though. It was the 191.xxx that gave me the problems...
My Idle temps are around 65 - 70 degrees at the present. Under load +- 85

Haha, no way man, that's not hot. At 80 you can start to use the term "hot" and above 90 maybe you can use "too hot"
