jdtek · 05-17-2005, 05:57 AM

hi! i have an npact 440se-64 Mb/TV graphic card with an nvidia geforce4 MX440 gpu..is it possible to view gpu temperature?

crazijoe · 05-17-2005, 06:37 AM

Yes with an separate temp display. There is nothing I am aware of, on the BIOS, for viewing GPU temps.

thanks very much for your fast answer!!

just a last question: when i open the case sometimes (not all the time) i hear a little noise from gpu fan..what do you suggest?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. But do keep your eye on it. You don't want the fan to fail. Because there are no safety features to protect a GPU from failing under heat and excessive heat will permanently damage a GPU.
Replacement GP cooling solutions are readily avalible so don't sweat trying to find something when the need arises.

Your GPU is very low powered I have 2 of them, one has only a passive heatsink, the other I have just replaced the old heatsink with an N-Force 2 Northbridge chipset cooler...
