Lower intensity is nice, I can run World of Tanks @ 60 fps maxed while mining, 1 card at 20 intensity, other card at 14 (~620 kH/s).
Are you getting a lot of HW errors in cgminer? If you are, then the intensity could be too high. If you can maintain the higher intensity while keeping HW errors and rejects low, I would trust cgminer. Wemineltc shows wonky readings for me sometimes as well.

What's cool to you?
I typically aim for 80C, but willing to go above. I see people in here running their sh!1 @ 90C and I'm like D: I know these cards are built for it, but what's the industry standard, rule of thumb, etc. for temps?
Yeah, that was it. I came home, upped intensity and got lots of HW errors. My card was slightly overclocked, so I put it to stock, and tried upping intensity again and it still got me HW errors. What the hell? Why can I not go past I 13 intensity?
Have you done the "setx GPU ALLOC" thing at the command prompt or in your .bat file? Also, what is your thread concurrency?
Don't have setx GPU ALLOC in the batch file. Concurrency is around 8K (don't remember the exact number) since this is what was recommended for 7950. I'll try setting it higher when I get home tonight.
Do I still need to set the --shaders 2560 in the parameters?
10W, max. Less if the HDD spins down regularly.
290's can run hotter than 79xx's.

Seems the 7970 tops out around 80C, 290X's go up to 90C+. 6970 and 5870 get warmer than 7970 due to the older 40nm process.
An enclosed case actually can provide better cooling than a semi-open one. Completely open, ok, as long as there's good airflow in the room (large fans) then I guess it's best. But cases can provide directed airflow, which is better than random airflow.
I try to stay at 70C and under for those HIS cards because I can hear the fans once it gets over 75C since the other components are watercooled.
I personally try to keep anything CPU/GPU at 70C and below. i know most people will say 90C+ is fine but keeping them cool has other benefits such as lower power consumption.
I'm at 77C on Core and 80-81C on VRM temps mining at 755kh/s on a 280x.
Is that a decent VRM temp ?
Also, Looks like doge is making a jump back at 38 satoshi.

If you have already done the setx GPU ALLOC thing in the command prompt (I believe you only need to do it once), up TC to around 24000. Don't set the shaders if you are setting thread concurrency manually...and a 7950 doesn't have 2560 shaders FYI, it has 1792 or something like that I think. You're giving your 7950 false credentials lol
After a couple hours of tinkering, I gave up. I pulled the P8Z77V-LK board and replaced it with the Gigabyte FX990 board. I used the same 3 risers, and everything works.
Any idea why the risers won't work properly on the Asus Z77 board?
I know that 7950 is 1792. I have since upgraded to 290. I was simply saying I have changed the number of shaders in the parameters after I upgraded to 290 but left the TC the same.
So is consensus to remove the --shaders parameter at all?
I guess I'll be playing around later tonight...
the people at bitcointalk are some what d*cks
showed the my heatware and references
says " I don't know what that is and I wouldn't know if its your or not but please send first"
