Your temps look fine but idle temps aren't as good as load temps for judging your GPUs health (IMO). Idle temps vary on ambient temp, current clock speed , power settings, and what you were doing immediately before measure the temp. Furmark maxes out your gpu and gives you a better idea where you will be during gaming.

 

Which one of those do I use to tell my idle/load temp?

 

ATI On-die@ GPU, all three of them (TS0, TS1, TS2).

I'd read * this* as well for a summary of all the repasting that has been done. Those temps look like mine before I repasted, now mine are all 58-60 at idle.

But idle temps aren't really a problem, load temps are. Download furmark (google it) and run it at 1280 x 768, with 4x AA, displacement mapping, extreme burning mode and post FX. Let it run until the temp stabilizes (usually 8-10 minutes will do it). Leave your hw monitor running, If you're under 100 degrees, you're okay.

 

The biggest problem I see is that MemIO is +10C higher than the other two. That's usually a sign of the atypical paste job from the factory. I'd monitor the temps in a month or so and see if it degrades further.
