By george, that was it!
I wonder why CGWatcher is causing that ruckus with it? Thank you, I'll keep tinkering with it to try to make it work with CG Watcher, I do like some of it's features.
This was my issue also with the intensity not registering.
Unfortunately, I still can't get NScrypt to hash more than 50% of what it's supposed to... I'm getting a paltry 250kh with my r9 290x.
Here's my setup:

If you have a 290x, your shaders are wrong. 290x has 2816 shaders. You might also want to try 256 or 512 worksize, and changing the powertune to 10 or 20. Try with gpu-engine 1000, and gpu-memclock of 1250 first, then 1500. one or the other should work. Your TC is ok, but you might see something i noticed with my 290's with that TC and thats higher rejects of ~2%
