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:
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 !
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?
Is something wrong with my setup? Or maybe the temperatures supposed to be that high?!?

- You most likely have a shitty case with equally shitty ventilation, fix it by buying a non-shitty case or more fans.
- If the cards are sandwiched together, air will have a tough time getting in between the cards and the fan won't be as effective in cooling the card.
- If you were a real engineer you'd know that.
- Place a wedge between the cards to create an opening so air can circulate into the fan area of the cards.
- Change your username to something more akin to your level of intelligence.
- Mining stresses the GPU a lot so high temperatures are to be expected. It is always recommended to enable manual fan control and increasing speed to 60-70%. You might need higher speeds if you have a shitty case.
- If the noise from the increased fan speeds bothers you do not make a post about it, we don't give a damn. Solve that by putting on your headphones and crank the volume up on the Justin Beaver album you've been listening for the past few weeks.
- Seeing your sig motivated me to donate to planned parenthood to have less retards born into this world.
- If anyone found this post useful I encourage them to donate to Planned Parenthood as well.
