i run this on my 5850's and get a nice steady 362 Mh/s while staying stable, cool, and usable for other functions. it may not be the best but works very well for me.
cgminer -o http://bla.net:xxxx -u username -p password -I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 750-900 --gpu-memclock 300 --temp-target 70
cgminer -o http://bla.net:xxxx -u username -p password -I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 750-900 --gpu-memclock 300 --temp-target 70
I tried this ... currently getting ~394 per GPU with four 5850s running in one machine.
Thanks a bunch!
Thx all, you have been real helpful. I have been able to fiddle some setting and get some other results. My avg. is up to 312 MH/s now, higher than before but not as high as when I used GUIMiner. I have more fiddling to do for sure.
I created the configuration file and only included this much,
"auto-fan" : "1",
"auto-gpu" : "1",
I think I can include my string like this "cgminer -o http://bla.net:xxxx -u username -p password -I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 750-900 --gpu-memclock 300 --temp-target 70" in the configuration file rather than in the shortcut?
During only one of my runnings was I able to hit the single keys [G] for GPU management, etc. Any idea why that is?
I get the feeling I should ditch passing in the setting via the shortcut and include them in the config file.
Thx again! I will keep fiddling and will post here again with my results.

If you can get to the option in cgminer under the settings menu then you can save your config that is already loaded by using that option or try the one below which should do what you need once you have placed your settings for the pool in there.
Code:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "http://bla.net:xxxx",
"user" : "username",
"pass" : "password"
}
],
"intensity" : "9",
"gpu-engine" : "750-900",
"gpu-memclock" : "300",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"donation" : "0",
"shares" : "0",
"auto-fan" : "1",
"auto-gpu" : "1",
"temp-target" : "70"

No reason to keep this line in the config file.
Hello,
I have read the post here, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-cgminer-mining-software-thread-for-linuxwinosxmipsarmr-pi-4110-28402 and many others. I have followed this guide here, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/1500-th-p2pool-decentralized-dos-resistant-hop-proof-pool-18313 and have everything working fairly well. I am running p2pool, bitcoin and cgminer on a Windows 7 machine.
I cannot do this however,
I press the keys, nothing happens. I make sure that I click on the cgminer.exe window to make it the active window, still nothing. How can I get these options?
My main concern is optimizing my GPU. Before, when I would run GUIMiner I would get 340MH/s out of my 5850. With cgminer, Im only getting 240MH/s. I see this part in the guide which I think is relevant to me,
But what does all that mean? Is there a key or guide to using these settings? Some like 'memclock' make sense, but others do not. Also, where do I enter this in? I pass it in via the shortcut I made right? And how do I stipulate which settings go to which card?
With GUIMiner I overclocked with afterburner and entered the flags into guiminer. Do I enter flags into cgminer?
Thanks for any thoughts or ideas!

You can use a .conf file called cgminer.conf that has your settings contained in it on windows not sure where you put it but would imagine it would be in the same directory as the program itself on linux it goes in the .cgminer directory an example below with two cards four pools enabled along with an edit of your original showing two cards enabled. The settings for multiple cards are taken in the order they appear on the command line/.conf file. First card in your example runs at 750-950 300 second at 700-925 400 intensity of 9 for both in my edit shown here.

You would want to add before the "kernel-path" line.
"auto-fan" : "1",
"auto-gpu" : "1",
To the .conf file to have them enabled when using it.
