Hey guys.. why is my graphics card temperature so high?? I am using stock fans

That's not too high, you should try cleaning around your case, get rid of dust.

what should I do to clean it im too afraid to touch the computer parts and break them... like what should I use to clean the fans and the case

Yeah it's not too high. Graphics cards are designed to be able to handle quite high temperatures, if those temperatures are for when your PC is idle then I would be a little worried, but I see you have WoW running there in the background. As the above poster said, cleaning out the dust will help lower it.

EDIT: Take it back, apparently that card just runs hot under load. No idea why. I thought it was based on the 5570, just as the 6770/5770 and 6750/5750 were.

so what does that mean.. its normal that the graphics card runs that hot?? any risk of it frying?!?

Should be fine, it's more than likely under full load with WoW. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

I would only be worried if the temps were frequently over 90°C while playing games/loading the graphics card. 80°C isn't particularly low, but a good blast of canned air into the cooler should reduce temps by a fair bit.
