It’s great that you’ve discovered the benifits of gain 100 over gain 0 but just make sure you’re not getting Segwayed away from your original issue. You have said you have used gain 0 for a long time but the noise issue is new. If you are looking on Astrobin and seeing nice clean images on gain 100, make sure you’re also looking at comparable integration times and not comparing a 5hr one night image with a multi night 20hr image. There are many factors as you know that contribute to noise but don’t lose sight of the fact it’s a new issue to you whist using the same settings you have been using.

Ryan,
If you read my last post to Dave , I mentioned “I’m still not totally convinced it’s just a Gain setting”
And yes on Astrobin I was comparing same camera , Gain 100 , same temp -10C , similar subs , similar total integration time , f5 to f7 fl and so on …..
but in saying that I can’t determine the exact bortle scale of their skies as all they mention is imaged from backyard from a particular main town or City
Cheers
