higher gpu temps recently

[rebith75]

Hey I have a x800gto2 with an artic silencer rev. 2 and have been running these overclocked at x850xtpe speeds for about 8-9 months now, but over the last month or so the temps have risen about 7 degrees C, I was wondering, I see a lot of dust in the case on the board and fans ( where it is at it gets some dust on the ground), could this buildup be causing the increase temps, if so what is a good way to "clean" this all out, thanks

Dust sure can increase temps. I use a can of compressed air to clean out my computers, just be careful. I also take it outside to spray otherwise you will just recirculate the dust in your house.

Might want to look into some sort of dust filters, assuming that is the problem.
