I used to clean it about every other week but with work and everything else going I just decided to use some of the $1 a/c foam filters and cut them to add to the intakes. They help a lot and they're washable, not to mention cheap. Think it was like a 20''x20'' and about 1/4'' thick and easy to use and doesn't restrict air that much that I've noticed.

any reason to use the Modded Asus PT1 bios instead of MSIAB now that it allows you to go higher than 200mV?

I picked up a lightly used MSI r9 290 reference card. It ran hot and loud so I bought an Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV for it on Amazon for $68 shipped.
Here's idle specs:
Stock reference card
Accelero Xtreme IV
Temps didn't go above 70°C while playing BF4. Highly recommend the Accelero Xtreme IV. I've seen up to 25°C lower temps at idle and VRM temps are great.
*edit*
I should mention the ambient temp was 67°F with stock hsf and 70°F with the Accelero.

Quick update.
I ran my card today trying to stress it out with stuff I normally use and here's what it max'd out at:
Very impressed with the Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV. 22°C lower than the reference cooler is pretty huge. VRM temps look good too. No ramsinks, just what the Accelero came with (backside heatsink).
It's huge and I lost my USB 3.0 front ports because the backside heatsink is in the way of the 3.0 header on the mb and I was too lazy to dremel it to clear the connector. I'll probably do that later. I can't move the card down to a lower slot because the HD cage is in the way. You need at least 13.25" from the back of the case for this thing to clear. It's huge but works well.

Bobby, I would use MSI Afterburner V4.1 to use for overclocking and testing the card.
