I was just wondering my video card idols at about 40 - 47c and I have no idea why. But if someone could let me know would be great thank you. By the way I have the Xfx Ati Radeon HD 5770 Video card

How long have you had it? What are you using to monitor the temp?

looking at some reviews you seem to be right on track with the other idle temps. What are you getting under load?

Alright I ran that and it ran at 51c the highest temp I ran it for 7 minutes. Am I suppose to run it longer? And the ring that was spinning around in the middle was not smooth it was like chocking up or something it wasn't just spinning is that suppose to mean something?

Temps are fine. What ring? As long as the fan blades are spinning in a circularly, whatever the ring is, it's fine. If not, bad bearing.

Yep temps are just fine. About the ring not moving all that smoothly. You probably have the Graphical settings too high for that card. If you scale down the settings I bet it will run smoother.
