Is 60C GPU temp. at idle normal with a 6800GT (no OC)?

For peace of mind, just install an extra 80mm fan at the front of your computer.
I would say that 70 – 80c is hot!
ive got a 120mm fan in the front and one at the back. god dammit there ar eno more places to install fans for my case? where can i place a 80mm fan? do i need to make a hole in my case? how do i do that? ive got an antec superlanboy google it.

besides artic silencer (because i cnt find one over here in the philippines) what other VGA cooling device should i use? do any of you recommend Artic silver 5 thermal compound? what does this do?

You guys think its all kool having "cool" card but before I got my cooling, if I left my side panel on my cards have gone up to 102C !!!! I reach in and touched the GPU and my skin got burnt off (sarcasm) LoL

Thermal compound.
The surface of a CPU or a heatsink is never entirely flat; if you place a heatsink directly on a CPU, there will be tiny (invisible) gaps between the two. Since air conducts heat poorly, these gaps have a very negative effect on the heat transfer. Therefore, an interface material with a high thermal conductivity is needed to fill these gaps, and thus improve heat conductivity between CPU and heatsink.
p.s. You have checked that all your fans are working?
