Radeon gpus in general run hot.. You should worry if you break the 85~90C barrier.
I feel safe below 80. But some ppl do run their cards hotter.
yeah, i am part of that "some ppl". Used to run my nVidia's at 100C+

how did you set the 6990 to 600 memory?
MISafter burner.... make sure you've "enabled unofficial overclocking" Hell i could drop it to 300 right now if i wanted, but it crashes when mining

MISafter burner.... make sure you've "enabled unofficial overclocking" Hell i could drop it to 300 right now if i wanted, but it crashes when mining Hmmm... I'm very puzzled... there have been posts after posts about the limitation of underclocking 6990s i don't know how you're able to do this. Which 6990s do you have? maybe yours are some particular brand that allows this... basically i can set the values using MSI AB or whatever other program, but if you actually lookup the memory speed with say GPU-Z it won't run at the specified memory setting. On 6990s, for pretty much most people here, you can only set the memory clock by 125 less than the core clock. ex: 930/805, 940/815 etc... etc... If I try something like 930/600 with MSI, the core speed will be set at 930 but the memory clock will be at the default setting(1250 i think?) according to GPU-Z... So, i'm very curious whether you could verify what the actual memory speed is reported at when you down-clock it.

I'll go take a screeny in the other room on the mininer istelf, I assume that it's actually dropping the mem clock because when i drop it i loose 12° I have an MSI 6990 http://imageshack.us/f/12/unlednfw.png/As you can see here, i can put the mem clock Much lower, Or the core Much higher

I'll have to hunt one down. Too bad I've sold 5 of them already without trying them... (to pay for 2 sapphire 6990s I kept for myself LOL) Appreciate you posting this!

I am more than certain that it's not my specific cards, Have you gone into MSIa and under the EULA and typed: [ATIADLHAL] EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 1 UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it UnofficialOverclockingMode = 2 AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0 Once you do this you can set whatever clocks you want on whatever card you want, NOTE: MISa becomes very "tweaky" after you've done this, (EG: drag mem to lowest, Hit apply, Close misa, Reopen it, And it can go lower)

I will hunt down an MSI board and see if it behaves differently. Will post back here, but it may really take a while...
