curious to find my GPU Temp

alabamaman79 · 03-20-2007, 08:51 PM

Hey guys, what's a good tool (other than ATi Tool) to use to find the temperature that my Radeon X1300 Pro is running at? ATi Tool doesn't seem to want to give me my temperature reading. Which is weird, because it gave me the temp of this card when it was in another case.

Thanks

Everest will give you that temp, after install click on sensor

did you try speedfan i dont have a link but google it

Nope, SpeedFan doesn't report the GPU temp either. I'm 99% positive that it's these Catalyst 7.2 drivers I have installed for my Radeon video cards. When the X1300 Pro was in the other case, I had 7.1 drivers installed and the temperature sensor worked fine then.

I should've known better than to fix something that wasn't broken.

The weird thing is ATi Tools knows the temp of the card. Using custom fan speeds based on GPU temp, I can hear the fan speed change in my X1900 and X1300 both. It just won't display the temp. I'm contemplating scaling back my drivers to 7.1

here's another weird thing, last night before I suggested Everest I tried it to make sure it showed the gpu temp with the 7.2's and it did, now tonite after I restarted everest don't show any temp or voltages

I am running vista but I swear last nite it worked

Hmm, maybe I should try checking again before rolling back the drivers. Maybe my temp sensor reading activated when yours stopped
