Thank you all for the replies.

After installing a case fan, the temperature only goes to 83C if I run it without flags.
Running with -v -w 256 (or 128) gives me a lower hashrate, but also a lower temperature (79C).
Haven't tweaked other settings yet.
Is the CCC power control as good as undervolting with Afterburner or Trixx?

i got the same exact card as you.  just use my settings like in the screenshot.  use -8% power   and well your GPU mhz will vary.

good luck man.
I just tried it after leaving the last post. It actually went to 525Mhash/s without any flags. (With my Nvidia card, -v does help improving my hashrates, but setting any flags to my AMD card just slow it down.)
However, it went back to near 90C.
With the GPU clock lowered to 1150, I can do 500Mhash/s in the mid-80Cs.
