Hey fellas I have a BFG 7800gt oc and when I first installed the graphics card the temp on the card was usually about low to high 30c. But now it's running a little hotter, somewhere around low 40's c to 50's c? Can anyone help me out why this is happening? Any info would be great. Thanks.

true but during at night it's pretty cool in the house. I keep windows open and it gets pretty cold in here. But i'll clean out the fan and maybe when it get's even cooler things will change.
 
Unless you're getting artifacting or crashing, don't worry about it too much, unless you notice that it's progressively getting higher over time.
