WoW!!! Somthing is really wrong with my new rig i have just build!!!
I just finished building my new PC (not just a mining rig) and i am now testing the abilities of the hardware.
My hardware:
Cooler Master HAF 932 case
AMD CPU phenom X4 955 3.7Ghz o.c
Crucial DDR3 1600 2x4GB
Asus crosshair IV formula Motherboard
x2 HIS Radeon HD 6970 crossfire
Air cooling

I am using the Phoenix miner with flags:
-k phatk DEVICE=0 VECTORS AGGRESSION=8 WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT

My 6970's are NOT overclocked and still on stock clocks of 880/1375  voltage 1.175

And I am getting 365 Mhash/s (each GPU) BUT... wait for it......  My temps are 91C !!!  I can boil an egg on my cards !  Sad

I've been searching so much on other posts and i've never found people with such high temps.
Why is this happaning to me?   Huh  Is something wrong with my setup?  Or maybe the temperatures supposed to be that high?!?
