This build isn't a week old, so no dust. Gfx card has some age on it, but never gets very hot. I think it was about 30c last night after running rsgun for a bit. Running a Noctua u12s HSF on the cpu. It idles @ 16c and it was @ 28~30c last night running those 5 instances of Higan, cpu 100% pegged.
I know MAME isn't really GPU bound, but I was thinking the on-board DDR3 of the gfx card was bottlenecking performance somehow.
