Yes.
I find that you need to decrease the memory speed to help reduce the wattage.

You need to find a stable point.
Plus.  I removed my case enclosure and pointed a standard house fan at it to further reduce the temperature.

Running my 6970 at 400 MH/s
64 degrees Cel.

Thanks. What program should I use to reduce memory speed? Will I need to put the memory speed back to normal when playing games or anything GPU related?

I haven't seen anyone mention using a house fan to get normal temperatures :S. I'll give it a try if I can find a spare one.

Edit: Tried taking off side panel and putting fan next to it and it's running at 85 degrees with 50% fan speed, good improvement!
