Video card temperature question.

I have an ATI 4800 series video card and with default settings it runs 78c degrees idle. The default fan speed is 15%. I don't know what that is in RPM but I can set it up to 35% speed which is as high as I can go without hearing the fan over the rest of the computer. This brings my GPU core down to 53c idle.

My question is, Is this even better? Sure, Lower temp sounds good but if the fan dies the GPU is screwed anyway.
