Can Anyone Help Me With My Graphic Card - 8600 Gt - temperature problem :D

bluedragon
Hi,
My system specs are as follows:

QUOTE
Processor : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz
Motherboard: nVidia 650i Ultra
RAM : 2 GB
GfxCard : XFX 8600 GT (512 MB)



Problem is all of my nVidia component are now managed by a single Control panel - nVidia Control panel and it doesn't show any tab for graphic's card temperature.


I want to know the temperature of my graphics card. does any body know any software for this ?? or at least a work around ?

thanks biggrin.gif

what window system do you have is it xp or vesta cause vista has a download for it. you may be able to go to nvidia and downloas it also. Some times its on the cd that your grapics caed came with. You may also have to go into your bios to veiw it also.

OOH interesting bit of information magic thanks, and for a link to that control panel is here, I recommend doing the automatic searching that way you can find the appropriate driver update. After you install, restart your computer, nvidia control panel will be in your task bar, and then all you have to do is click on it and there is your control panel.

WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL

Thanks Saint Michael biggrin.gif

but i am already running the latest version of the Graphics Drivers. Problem is , but I can't find any option for the graphics card's temperature monitor.

the Nvidia control panel shows a temperature option , but thats for the CPU cores

I think I would need a separate software to monitor that.



@ Magic
I am running Win XP. and I am not lame. May be you didn't understand the question. Please don't post just for the sake of posting.

Replying to bluedragon

If you have nvidias latest drivers and control panel (169.21forceware is setup file from nvidia), under 3D settings tab is Monitor Temperature settings tab. Open monitor temp sets. If you haven't done this before it will prompt you to d/l nvidias nTune software. D/l it and install. NTune creates a Performance tab in nVidia control panel. Under performance tab is Launch NVMonitor. Launch NVMonitor. This panel has a button in the lower right corner. Click that button and the panel doubles in size. The second half contains CPU and GPU temps (maybe not cpu if you don't have nvidia motherboard) and fan RPMs.

I don't think nTune is supported by my motherboard XFX 650i Ultra biggrin.gif

Well I finally found the nTune software by itself, and I would download it and install and see if it picks up anything. It is funny that I didn't try to google this the first time I posted laugh.gif, well here is the link and enjoy.

Yea for overclocking and checking your fan speeds as well as the core's GPU temperature definetly use N-tune, it wont let you down. O and btw dont overclock your GPU unless you know exactly what you're doing, also make sure you have optimal airflow.

  9. Matrox Introduced A New Graphic Card!
    (1)
    Some time ago Matrox introduced a new Matrox Millenium G550 PCIe, which runs on PCI Express x1. If
    you find it difficult to understand that x1, you are right, because usually graphic cards use PCI
    Express x16, especially the new more developed systems. But as soon as we look at the
    specifications, it becomes clear why Matrox decided for this x1 slot. On this card there is an old
    G550 processor, which is not capable to run modern gmaes (DirectX 7 support only, 2×2,...). But this
    card was not ment for that sort of users, servers and industrial computers are the targeted gr....

    in offices. So Dell and HP are very likely to use this option because it is cheap and enough
    powerful. There are also roomers, that this card is goin to be capable of running games like Doom
    3... This is also a bad news for Nvidia and ATI, which will loose a nice part of the....
