My cards are working at 74-77C. I Lifted the cards out of the chassis by using pci extenders and a wooden frame. There is also a big fan facing the rig. These cards definitely win the prize for the best toasters of 2013.

Well, I brought down the core to 855 and mem to 1575 which jumped the hash up to 529ish.  BUT the card is now running at 88 C which is unacceptable.  I swear XFX made a shit card here. Their new support site is the worst thing ive seen too.

I would change the intensity if the temp didnt skyrocket.

Yeah I'm using a xfx 7970 black edition with a 380 hash.  pretty sh*tay.
any suggestions?

win 7,

 --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2

clocked from 855 to 1025 and mem 1475 to 1575.  For some reason msi afterburner will not allow me to clock memory past 1575?

thanks!

Your intensity isn't very intense.

I agree that those cards are not the best but you have to admit that they where good bargain and they have good return rate.

I run three of them at 645/675/675. these are my prefs:

Code:
"intensity" : "14,14,14",
"vectors" : "1,1,1",
"worksize" : "256,256,256",
"kernel" : "diablo,diablo,diablo",
"lookup-gap" : "0,0,0",
"thread-concurrency" : "0,0,0",
"shaders" : "2048,2048,2048",
"gpu-engine" : "0-1075,0-1125,0-1125",
"gpu-fan" : "0-85,0-85,0-85",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500,1500,1500",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0,0,0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0,0,0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000,0.000,0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "95,95,95",
"temp-overheat" : "85,85,85",
"temp-target" : "75,75,75",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"hotplug" : "5",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "1",

Something to try:

Reduce the mem clock and then try to find the sweet spot again. Worked for me on my 7970 Gigabyte cards. I couldn't get a Kh rate above 550 at mem clock 1600. I reduced mem clock to 1500 and found the sweet spot with a 1050 eng clock. I'm sitting at 720Kh/s now with 1 card.

Edit: Actually I have 2 7970s cards in the system and can get 720K on the second card when running by itself and 680K from each card when I enable them both. Still trying to figure this one out. I just made a post about it. I have a XFX 7970 that I will be adding to this rig when I get the riser figured out. I'm still a newb at this but from what I've seen so far you might not be able to get the "full" hash rate out of a card that is your primary card in the system. At least that's what I've experienced so far.
