Graphics Card Temperature Sensor

[Helium_Junkie]

I have a 6800GT AGP, and have recently changed the cooler on the card. Now I am concerned about the temperature. Is there a built in sensor on this card that can be read with some kinda clever gadgetry? How do you fellas check the temps on yours?

download ati tool, I know its called "ATI tool", but it works on Nvidia and will give you your temps!

Right click on your desktop > Properties > NVidia display > Your monitor > Look for 'Temperature settings'

Would that not be the display temperature? The 6300/7500k kinda stuff?
I had a butchers around the nVidia control panel and couldnt find anything relating to the Adapter's temp.

Thanks for the ATI tool tip, will try that when I get home

Nope its your graphics temperature. I'll get a pic one sec.

Get ati tool though will give you full info on your temps like core temp, memory temp etc!

I dont have that, I have this swanky new control panel effort. Maybe due to the latest drivers or some such. Will look harder when I get in

On a related note, whats an average/acceptable load temperature for a stock 6800?

Erm, the nvidia control panel displays what the card reads.

Downloading a peice of pointless software (in his case) isnt really good advise...

CR.
