When I first started mining ltc, my temps were around 75-80c. The temp slowly kept rising till they were in the 85-87c range!
I just started mining yesterday for the firs time ever, I'm mining LTC with 2 7970s.
I was going to ask what is a good temperature for the GPU to be at, but you answered that. so..
I'll ask you did you install the Sapphire "TirXX" application?? I've been able to control the GPU Fan speed to keep the temperature of my card under 80c.
I haven't pushed them to hard yet I'm at 516Kh/s per card.
