Curious to know how often anybody changes the AS5 on their video cards?

I guess I am alone on this one as I am answering my own question.
I noticed temps on the vid card going up a few degrees which led me to ask the question in the first place without opening up unit.
After opening up unit I could see dust bunnies in the ATI Silencer. To really get at them, you have to open up the unit. Compressed Air wouldn't clean them all out. When you open it up you either need to stay with the AS5 you have on, add some on top of the existing, or do a fresh install.
I did the fresh install by cleaning off the old one. Right away the temps dropped 6 degrees.
I would advise checking your Video Card Cooler every so often for dust bunnies and if you see your temps raise above normal, maybe think about a fresh AS5 install.
