If you live in an area with little or no dust it would be easy to think this. Dust? What dust? I've seen it completely block airflow over vents. Inside it's a thick covering on everything. The small fans on video cards are even more likely to be stopped or slowed because of dust. If you smoke it can get even worse, the tar accumulates on top of the dust making almost a dry goop on the fans.
