I got a amd 5900 from a friend Installed it it ran one gpu at a time . then 2 days later it started running its own cpu core and 2 at the time and holy cow did it get hot . I had to back the clocks back to where it was running 3 min units at 165 degrees x 2 . then it hit the max and is puttering with one gpu unit and a shared core . does the scheduler make this difference ?? and holy cow it started pulling 34 amps of power . Is this card suited . any suggestions - I picked it up for DP

also I swapped a 7800 / 7950 for this 5900 / is this a good idea the extra heat is OK for our short winter but summers are hot and humid so all energy has to be sucked out by an A/C unit . also any XML would be neat . but just idling on one gpu task
this card pulls 60 + watts more
