Video card heat???????????????

When I got my video card it idled at about 53C. That was in the winter, so obviously it shoudl be a few degrees hotter in the summer because of higher temperature/ higher humidity. It stabled out at 57c, and the past few weeks after not checking my temperature for a while, it's been anywhere from 58c-61c. Could this be from dust buildup? Dust can make this much heat? Thanks.|||possibly, but the card just could run really hot. try getting more fans|||not knowing what type of gpu it is I cant really help much...but if it is a new generation gpu those temps are not bad at idle...what are they under a heavy load?...i.e..playing games etc...you can always raise the fan speed to 60-80%....that would most likely keep your temps good w/out worries...also taking a can of compressed air and cleaning the gpu and the inside of the case out would help keep temps under control...dust=heat.....

dont know if you can set up a fan profile for that gpu sense it is a agp and not pci-e....here is 2 programs for overclocking and setting fan speeds...you dont need to overclock your card, but if you want to raise the fan speeds these programs might do that..you will have to read through to see if it will work with your gpu....
