With my HD 5870, I also started experiencing higher temps than normal with it. Turned out the thermal compound had wore out over the years. I cleaned off the old stuff and applied new compound. Dropped my temps back to a normal range.
That being said, blow out the dust, make sure the fan is still functioning, and try re-applying new thermal paste.
Good luck.

Yeah , it ought to be dried up TIM. Change it with one of those -
Recommended Thermal Compounds/TIMs -
Antec Formula 6
Antec Formula 7
Arctic MX-2
Arctic MX-4
Arctic Silver 5
Cooler Master ThermalFusion 400
Gelid GC-Extreme
Prolimatech PK-3
Tuniq TX-4
And yeah , to make the best out of the new TIM , clean it up with some ArctiClean which will remove all sorts of leftovers from the TIM ( especially if its dried ) And yeah , be sure to Clean the fan as much as possible too. Yet if you have high temps ( which probably shouldn't ) get an aftermarket GPU cooler of your choice.
