I have 5770 and 5850. According to GPU-Z (and some other sources), there are three temp sensors in each card. My sensors values for 5770: 71, 83 and 77. For 5850: 76, 82, 81.
Your monitoring seems to show values of the first sensors, which detect the temperature of a display controller. And these are the lowest values of all three.
MSI Afterburner has one general graph for each graphic card, they are called simply GPU1 temp and GPU2 temp. GPU-Z also has additional GPU temp graph for general GPU temp monitoring. I was surprised to know that both programs use different sensors to show general graphic card temperatures. It's the second sensor for 5770 and the first sensor for 5850. So temps they are showing are 83 and 76 respectively.
Anyway, last paragraph was kinda offtopic. I was just trying to elaborate what sensors are best to use. I propose second ones, they are showing the highest temperatures of the graphic cards. I could finally throw away that afterburner temps from my tray.
It's the first one that's the core temperature though. Not sure what the rest are.

About drop-down menu after "Pause mining when GPU ..." — I happen to have three options for this: 0, second 0 and 3. Though I have two cards o,o
Huh, might be an extra space in your INI file or something, since OCL.dll clearly will only detect 2 cards, and it's not reporting a conflict in number of GPUs.

About clocks tab: I didn't quite get why do I have to click "Clock speed" every time I want to apply changes Smiley Same for "Fan speed". What about "Save settings" concept?
I did that for clock speeds in 1.7.

Hi! Is there a way for you to remove BIOS limit for all three (Core, Memory, Voltage)? Like a checkbox maybe (warning that it will remove BIOS limit may cause damage to card etc.)

I was getting BSOD after a couple of minutes when I OCed using Afterburner and I tweaked my 5850 to 1010/300/1.25v. It seems since AOCLBF is running with the BIOS limit, when I go past that, it will BSOD. When I'm using the traditional command line, I did not have that issue. I was able to replicate the issue several times.

Overall, when I keep my voltage at stock, do the usual OC, it's working fine, no BSOD. This is using AOCLBF alone. But together with Afterburner, I'm having the issue.
BIOS limit is just that, BIOS limit Undecided. Don't know how to bypass it. When trying to OC past it, the DLL/driver should have just tossed an error, and reset the clocks to the OC before BIOS limit.
Not sure about the BSOD thing, it might be fighting with Afterburner. Try not using more than one tool to OC.
