Any reason you haven't dropped your memory clock?

They will deteriorate at any temperature. They will deteriorate faster when hotter and when running @ a higher voltage.

Your temps are not unreasonably high, but I think many would start feeling a bit uncomfortable at those temps.

Thanks for the reply, it seems like one section of the GPU is always higher than the other parts (temp #2) any idea as to why that is happening?

Im also looking into adding another fan to my case as i only have 2 fans in the case atm.

Ive been looking into BitCoin mining for a while now, and im currently mining on my rig (built for gaming not mining) just to see whats its all about and i was wondering how far i can push the GPU. Im currently using a Radeon 6870 (XFX) and am getting these max temps

If i run the card for long periods of time will it deteriorate the card, or are these cards able to handle temps like these for long periods of time (days straight).
