    That is the case on mine, it has 100 on the far left side, but when I slide the adjustment tab, it only goes to 1,000 so I guess that will have to do.

    That is a function of CCC. You can install MSI AB and enable the "Unofficial overclocking" in the .cfg file, put in the EULA line, and then you will have complete control. If you do this you need to disable CCC Overdrive before you launch MSI.

    I'll give that a go. I'm glad you mentioned to disable the overdrive

    Ordered ac XFX HD 6990 so I can compare the 5970 & 6990 against each other, picked it up for $650 so I got a little off the Regular price anyway. If it seems better I'll sell one of the 5970's to cover some of the cost ...

    The second 5970 that was giving me trouble or at least not running as good as the 1'st one seems to have settled down. I'm getting a lot of the MOO Wu's to finish under 14 Min's or a little over 15 Min's anyway running @ 825 Core & 1.075 Volts. Maybe it had to just burn in some ...

    Wow, that is awesome! From what Bryan says, they are the bomb. You know, I've been thinking about the issues with the 5970, and I suppose the 5970 was not meant to be used as a cruncher 24/7, they probably thought people would just game on it for a few hours, and shut it off, or at least it would do a lot of idling, etc. So it sounds like they took a lot of the criticisms and made things right with the 6990.

    That's good news.
