Wow, Alright, Tell us the brand, No, Better yet, Link us a Newegg.ca page of your video card.
1.You need good airflow
2.You NEED good airflow
3.Do you have good airflow?
4.I have NINE fans just to cool my 7950 so that at 1100core, 1.131mv, It runs at 76% fan speed, And 77°c
5.Got Dust?
6.(i dont mine LTC, So i dont know if this affects your speed) Drop your memory clock to about 600, This will save you about 10°c

Never run the fans at 100% for longer than an hour.
Never run the card at 100°c for prolonged periods of time, You'll turn your 10yr card into a 1.5yr card (lifespan)

GET SOME AIRFLOW

It always goes up to 100% when I'm mining

The fan might not be running fast enough.

Code in a fixed fan speed of 75%.

Since I can't start a new thread anywhere else

I'm trying to mine litecoin with the settings I found on the litecoin mining hardware comparison page on github

But when I set up reaper and run it, my GPU monitor says my card is running at 100 degrees celsius, which I'm worried will fry the card. That, and it stops when I leave it running for a while probably due to overheating
