Not unless it's a significant amount of dust. The fact is, that card is probably laboring like hell and it doesn't surprise me that it's running hot. All I can say is, start looking into a new card, because when that thing goes, you'll be left without a working rig until you get one. We all know that's...

Idling at 70c is more of a concern to me than 90c under stress. 90c isn't that high a number, especially given the age of the card and the demand put on GPUs these days. What are the other system temps? Do you have adequate airflow?

all my other temps are fine and cool, my airflow in my case is fine. I never had a problem with it before.

If you have the money i would get a new card because that thing is ancient and slow.

But if you have to keep it, did you blow all the dust out with compress air? Also you can try adding another fan that blows air at the card (won't do much though)

i have made sure there's no dust on the card and i have used compressed air, but there is a little dust on the fan that's hard to get off. would that cause anything??

We all know that's not a comfortable time for a gamer/PC enthusiast.
