Prolly not, but anyone with a 4870X2 ( like me ) knows not to leave their fan at 100%.... it honestly sounds like a jet turbine that could break at any moment.

The difference between 92% and 100% for a 4870 X2 is obscenely large...

It wo n`t explode, but its life will be much shorter (and louder).
How many fans does your case have and where are they?
Consider an aftermarket cooler, and in your desert environment I`d suggest something like this over the majority, which do not exhaust out of the case.
