I am using cgminer version 3.7.2 for scrypt GPU mining. As far as I understand, the "--temp-cutoff" should allow me to disable the mining once the GPU reaches certain temperature.
I am using "--temp-cutoff 90" but I can see my GPU reaching 92 degrees and still hashing. Am I missing something here, or anyone else have had this issue before?

OK, now this is strange. None of the temperature-related command are working. I am running it with --auto-gpu --temp-target 80 arguments, so it should remain close to 80 degress; and still I can see my GPU temperature going to 87 degrees.

Did you ever find an answer to this? Its getting hot and my cards and burning at 96C and up!

Sadly, no.

But I played with different mem clock and intensity to find the best settings to keep the temperature at acceptable levels.

It works for me as long I use --auto-gpu, too. It disables the card when it reaches the cutoff temperature for some time (usually few minutes, depends on your hysteresis setting). I use cgminer 3.7.3 (kalroth's fork).

However, after the temperature goes down, the card is not brought back again, I have to switch it on manually. This is a bug.

You need --auto-gpu for temp cutoff to work. I don't understand why but I have the same problem like everyone else...

Yes; as you can see in 2nd post, I tried the temp settings with auto-gpu also, but that didn't work either.

A bug is all I can say. Not sure if any of the forks have corrected this, but I tried sgminer and it didn't perform well either.
