Is it OK to let my GPU temp go up to 76 w/tpfancontrol?

My T60p fan's whistle/whine is driving me nutty so I've been experimenting with TPFanControl and found that if I turn on level 4 (3500 rpm) at 76 degrees C and let it cool down to 68 degrees C before shutting the fan off that the fan is only on about 25%-50% of the time. Here are my TPFanControl ini settings:

Level=68 0
Level=76 4
Level=79 7

Is it bad for the T60p to let the GPU swing back and forth between 68 and 76 degrees every 5-10 minutes?

I should be ok, mine goes up to around 88 when I'm playing games.

Yeah, I'm just nervous because when the BIOS controls my fan, the temperature is normally in the 60's.
