    Insane heat drop!

    I noticed for the last week that my GPU temps were insanely high, 94c at load after 20 minutes. I didn't do know what to do. Fan was at 100% constant and I even have another case fan right next to my GPU. I took the card out for a look and saw that the heatsink was full of dust, I cleaned all of it and plugged the card back in. Temps now never go above 75c! that's what, a 19c drop in temp? I suggest you all to also clean your heatsinks since it may decrease your temps by a significant amount.

    compressed gas can be used for other things besides when you want to do a drive by in your sisters bedroom =)

    Yes, and that's pretty good for a reference 590 actually.
