Hey guys,

  I just picked up one of these cards.  Current settings are

"api-listen" : true,
"intensity" : "20,19",
"worksize" : "512",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"auto-fan" : true,
"temp-cutoff" : "99",
"temp-overheat" : "95",
"temp-target" : "88",
"expiry" : "30",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "30",
"scrypt" : true,
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"thread-concurrency" : "32765",
"gpu-thread" : "1",
"gpu-engine" : "947,1045",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250,1250"

 Bold items are this card.

This is the output in cgminer after 12 hours

GPU 1:  85.0C 1790RPM | 879.5K/878.0Kh/s | A:629069 R:11712 HW:0 WU: 815.4/m I:19

 I am happy with this for sure.  But it looks like the fan is so low that I can get more juice outta this card, I have tried numerous things (100-/1500 I:20) and about 15 others I have found online and nothing has got me any better.  I can get the Kh/s over 900 but my WU drops to around 700 which I am thinking is not good.

  Any suggestions would be awesome. Again I am not unhappy with the card as it is, it is cool I assume since the fans are way lower than my other card it is using less power, just thought if I can get more out of it why not.
