Is something in my command line making the cards run hot?

I am on Windows 7 with Radeon 6950's

I had 6950x4 and then you guys taught me stacking them on top of each other makes them too hot.

So for now I removed the 2 that were in the middle so the remaining 2 do not have anything touching them on either side.

You guys said that they should be running 50-60 degrees Celsius but these 2 cards are still running at 80 and I'm wondering if it's something on my command line?

I am using this one I found somewhere that is getting me 260 Mhash (mind you I have no idea what any of it means)

phoenix.exe -u http://WORKERNAME:PASSWORD@pool.bitclockers.com:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=10 DEVICE=0

I adjusted AGGRESSION down to 7 and that didn't make any difference, and if I go lower than 7 I lose significant hash speed (meanwhile I thought I was expecting to get 310 Mhash out of each card but the line above only gives 260)

Is something in the command line making the cards run hot?
