Yes, I had heat issues that were revealed by this project. My card temps went way up. I had cleaned my pc out with a can of air, but that didn't do it. I then took out the card and got every dust bunny out and now my card is running at lower temps. I think this project does run hotter than most, but a good cleaning of the card should do it. My temps were going up into the 90's C and now are down to around 67-69 with fan speed at 70%.
