Windows can detect more than 4 GPUs BUT ATI OpenCL Driver can not!
So you can not mine with more than 4 GPUs in Windows

would windows work with affinity using 3 x 6990's(6 GPU's) and only having CPU with 2 cores(AMD II 255) ?
Would mining be possible with this kind of setup? or back to linux?

Dunno but think that it would!
windows has trouble with more then 4 gpus

HD5770 with 11.5 = 186 Mhash/s
HD5770 with 11.6 = 176 Mhash/s
After I updated to 11.6, I immediately downgraded back to 11.5

I wonder what you get with:
11.4
11.3
11.2
11.1
11.0
10.X

the voltage on ASUS can be regulated but not on Gigabyte cards.
My rig freeses as soon as cards run at 90C for a couple of minutes. If I only find a way to keeo them at 70 I would set 1000 and 980 core.
I overclock them with AB.

clocks are (core\mem) 990\300 as for the ASUS HD 5870 V2 and 960\300 as for other 3xGigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD
how do you get it to run stable on 990/300 (365)? whenever i surpass 950, the whole things starts to become unstable and sometimes freezes.
do you use msi afterburner? do you raise the core voltage?

BSOD for me.

On my machine there's only high CPU load with aggression=10 or higher.
With lower aggression there's almost no CPU load.
This is with Win 7 64bit, Athlon 64 X2 6000 and a single 6870 card.

The CPU load is something I haven't experienced on any of my machines, what kinds of processors are you using and what OS's?
With 11.6 on Win7 64bit and an unlocked 4x Deneb core I only ever see a maximum of 15% load on one of the cores and I haven't needed the affinity locks. Strange?

The CPU load is 100%! You're right BUT the solution to solve the CPU full load problem is to set cpu affinity of all the miners to a single CPU core. Such feature is avaliable in GUIminer and Phoenix Rising as far as I know.
Using such a method my CPU is ~30% loaded.

I'm guessing no change in the CPU 100% problem or you would have mentioned it...

Yeah I was monitoring my GPU load while using 11.5 and it was the same.
If i were you I would downclock my memory to 300 'cause it results in faster hashing speeds and lower temps and also made the aggression higher up to 13.

I'm running 2 x 6950 (unlocked @ 925 core, 1250 ram) on each miner and I get 95% gpu load on the first card and 84-89% gpu load on the second card (no clue why it varies). I get 400-430 Mhash, goes up and down every few seconds on both cards but the gpu load only goes up and down on the second card. I have set the power control is at +20, temps are all below 75 degrees.
Running catalyst 11.5 with phoenix 1.50.
Did you by any chance check your gpu load with catalyst 11.5 ?

Of course 
~99-100% but when I switch to another card GPU-Z shows 93% and then after a couple of seconds it jumps to 99-100%
Afterburner says that cards are 96-100% loaded

Can you tell me please what's your gpu load with pheonix + phatk, as reported by gpu-z ?
