    Ran this 3 times just in case
    1st run i got the score posted
    2nd run, i got 5280
    3r un i got 5340 again...

    Got unstable clocks at 565/793...
    set it at
    555/802
    3DMark06: 5218...
    on 4 different runs, it varied from xx17~xx18

    My temps are still hovering around 80 ~82 C while gaming (Oblivion, COD4, UT3, JK3:JA)

    Are those temps too high?

    I'll keep going on later...

    Technically the card can handle up to 90C+, but personally I wouldn't like to see the temps above 80C at all. It's really up to you whether 80-82C is too high or not, just remember the hotter it runs the quicker it will die. On the other hand, if the temperature didn't change from stock settings, then you may as well try to go higher until it starts adding heat.

    I see...
    The thing is, I live in Honduras, temperatures here are generally hot, so my computer runs a tad bit hotter than normal too...

    Mine usually runs in the 80-82c range for gaming. If your worried you can always add a laptop cooler under your rig.
