    the fans do not start until it hits a specify temp (on Auto Fan Speed)... for CPU its about 30-35C degrees, for GPU its about 60C degrees.

    oh wow, thanks, i left the power fans off for a bit and sure enough at 58 degrees, the fans kicked in, i was very afraid, anyway, now that this is done, not a major noticeable difference in gameplay fps yet

    Well there should not be a difference... cleaning your system just ensures that it does not overheat and stays stable. :)
