Ha! My new low-ender's proc outpaces yours by 70 MHz!

Seriously, though, that looks like a pretty sweet rig, capable of kicking all forms of ass. Congrats!

Yeah, 114F is perfectly normal for a video card at idle. Now if it was 114C that would be a different story. Most video cards operate in the 50-80C range, and can reach as high as 120C before their thermal protection will kick in.
