Midwinter, and ambient temps at around 5 deg would allow me to run my gx2's with the big fanmod at 1944 on the shaders with temps below 60deg stable...as ambient temps rose and the card temps went through 67 deg then it became more and more unstable til it became necessary to reduce clocks by a step. At 1890 the limit was again found when ambients took the card temps to 74 deg. midsummer ambients here are not often over 28-30 deg and require that shaders are reduced to 1836 when card temps mostly allow folding at <80 deg.
If PG would allow us to select the type of WU downloaded we could get a shed load more work done in summer as the overclocks would be for cooler running
Not much of an answer to your question but perhaps pertinant info nonetheless
