It's grand, GPUs are fine up to the 80's if you ask me, but some people like it cooler.
Don't use furmark by the way, it's an unrealistic torture test that just shows how much punishment your GPU can take before it gives up. If you're testing for overclocks, try the most intensive game you have (or 3dMark11, Unigine Heaven etc.) and put the settings to max. It's a much more realistic indicator of stability, and maximum temperatures.
