I'm getting a little more mh/s with that but now its maxing out two cpu cores instead of one   :-(

Also what fan control are you guys using?  With my XFX 6870, if I leave fan control on auto, it will stay at 35% fan and let the temp get up to 84 deg C, so I manually set it at 50% to drop the temps to about 78 deg C.  What are reasonable maximum temps for 24/7 operation, and will I wear out the fans at a 50% speed 24/7?

I've got it set to auto, which keeps it at around 80% speed. I would doubht they would wear out from being on 24/7, and if they ever did you could just get a replacement cooler for pretty cheap.
