Getting temps on x1800xt

[Camalot]

Is there anyway to find my temps of this card? I cant seem to get CCC working, just gives me error. Even with that net frame work thingy installed.

Can i check temps with anything else?

Reason i ask is because when i play wow, the fan seems to be full speed, 90% of the time and its really getting on my nerves.

Cheers.

I think if you install riva tuner if will show you the temps

Thanks, it worked.

Now for the temps. After a few minutes of WOW the temp reached 84c. Idle is about 74c

Is this good/bad/average?

To hot id say, my old x1800 used to idle about 54 and only go as high as about 76 underload, maybe it needs a good clean out as the dust can build up in those HSF's.

The thing is. Ive took it out and couldnt see a single bit of dust what so ever. But sometimes when i boot the pc the fan makes a high pitch disturbing sound. All the screws are tight tho, not sure why? If i have the case open when its making this noise, i can stop it by gently pushing upwards in the center of the fan. But if i leg go again, the noise is back.
