Wait... your PC is shutting down because of the heat? How hot does it get before it shuts down?

I did some test runs on my PC to see how hot I could get my 5850 before it would get "SICK" in CGMiner, and it seems like I can push it to about 95ºC before it turns off.... however, my PC never shuts down.

Oh... lol... turn crossfire off! Hope that helps. You don't want crossfire on if you are mining!

When GPU hits like 86-88 PC just shuts down, not sure if that is something to do with windows or CGminer or what.

Turned off crossfire, seems to be a little better, temp on XFX card still high around 78c 100% fan @ intensity 12. How come you want crossfire off when mining?

and got a nice cool 66c on other card with intensity 14. Seems really strange to me.

Would you recommend I sell the XFX to get another brand with a better stock cooler?

Update: managed to get 73c @ I = 15 on sapphire and 75c on XFX card with I = 10 but the XFX card is only pulling 52kh/s lol

is there any point in having that card in there? must be at least 170 watts at load.
