I dont really understand what temps are what in your post, but 110C is way to much, if the card's heatsink is almost unbearable to touch, its probably right though. Just take your finger and hold it on it for a while. If it burns, that means you have a problem. If it doesnt, it may be 63C. Where are you getting the different temp readings?

If you let it run all night it may die. Be prepared to RMA it.

test it with your hand to see if it really is that hot or if the gpu's thermometer is screwy, if you find yourself recoiling because its too hot to touch, i say RMA. if it doesnt seem very hot, try another program to see. it is a possibility ati tool is misreading the temps. especially since it says the environment is only 60c.

if you're not getting any artifacts, and if your hot-to-the-touch test doesnt hurt, then the ATITool sensor is messed up.

Just make sure you go back inside the case to get the tip of your finger back as it will have probably melted and be slidin down card towards Northbridge chip lol

because the "radar" doesnt scale with temperature so when temp goes above 90c it goes above the "radar"
