5830 Cards OC'd, GUI and Display Errors

[Bitcoin_Silver_Supply]

I currently have two 5830s blazing at 980Mhz each and their heat has peaked at 76C on the hottest day of the summer thus far. Despite the relatively low heat, I am getting a number of GUI and Display errors while mining. The GUI errors involve skewed text/pics and random "bits" appearing on the screen while the display error tends to freeze my cursor and cause the screen to go black until I am informed that a driver error was resolved.

I'm wondering if I am pushing these cards too hard despite the low temps or whether this is simply the result of a faulty card or software error. I am in Win7 and this is not a dedicated rig, for the record.

Thanks in advance.

What miner are you using, and what flags with it?  My guess is it's the -f, aggression, or similar flag.

GUIMiner, OpenCL, flags: -v -w256 AGGRESSION = 0

Whenever I try Phoenix with phatk I can barely navigate my OS.

Try taking out AGGRESSION = 0 and put in -f30, I think you may have the flag for the wrong type of miner in there.

Trying it out thanks. The mhash looks the same but we'll see about the errors.

Just got the display driver error again so I don't believe that was it.

And here's what it looks like for the record:



Very fun to read off of.

What catalyst and app sdk versions are you using?

I thought I had Catalyst 11.6B but it shows up as 11.7. SDK 2.4
