Suggestions for tuning options on overheating AMD 7970
#3
Its not a great quality card (XFX) and I have had cooling issues. I recently re-applied thermal compound . I also did try forcing fan to 100% before starting but it still shoots up. I used this card to mine litecoins 24/7 back in the day and it would stay around 90c, albeit stable.

Can't seem to figure out how to underclock with the 14.9 drivers. I tried setting clock speed lower in AMD overdrive and it ignores and keeps it at 975. Tried evga precision and it wont let me go lower either.

I'd be happy even with 50k/sec if I could use the tuning options.
