Is this a safe temp? I got up to that temp in atitool and stopped. It's been clocked about 50mhz higher in both core and memory. It has a fan, and it idles around 46C~

I'd stop at a FurMark load of about 95C-100C. That'll be about 80C-85C in normal games, which is safe for GPUs.

Many cards have been rated to be safe up until around 120C, but i'm skeptical... thats above boiling temp.

When OC'ing I try to keep the load under 80C

Yea, 90°C is the max you would want to hit, 80°C is about the max I like to have it running normally at.
I have a 7300GT in my HTPC that sits at 73-75°C all the time (passively cooled).
My GSO's would run 79-80°C at times while folding.

This! GPUs can withstand head a lot better than CPUs, a CPU would be at it's critical temp these days at around 75C or so. GPUs could go up to 93-95C or so before I'd start turning some stuff down (and the fan up!).
