i just got the 8800gts 640mb and i downloaded 'speedfan' and its giving me temperatures but i dont know which one is my gpu.. does anyone else recommend a diff program or is there a notorious one thats better?

right now it says: temp1 44C, temp2 26C, temp3 -2C, HD0 34C, Core0 35C, core2 31C, core3 31C

Try rivatuner for the GPU temp. Not sure but nVidia's monitoring tool might give it too.

I'm not sure which one of those temps is the graphics card, but none of them appear to be in a bad place for an 8800 (90C would worry me under load)

speedfan dont even read your gpu temps i think

speedfan dont even read your gpu temps i think

agreed...at least, it doesn't read mine

The speedfan Beta does read gpu temps.

I second RivaTuner. works great and there is a plug in to let it read cpu temps too

rivatuner of ati tool. either of those will give you the gpu temps.

use nTune, you should LOAD under 70C in a warm room, temps are pretty nice under LOAD in a chilly room, I can run Oblivion maxxed and only hit 64-65C in a chilly (it is fall-like out here in Quebec recently) but in the summer FarCry maxxed I was hitting 70C.

Make sure you have VERY good airflow BEHIND the case. Don't cram it against a wall pinned between the side of a desk or something, this will add 10C to your temps easily. If you are going over 70, add a casefan and make sure your exits at the back of the case are UNOBSTRUCTED.

I was getting 69C on the stock cooler, I bought a Thermaltake ND5 and now get 60C playing games and it's whisper quiet compared to the stock cooler

go to ntune and turn up your fan for the first 2 months my 8800 gtx fan was set to 59%!!! 59% WTF? idling at 70c i turn it UP to 99% (dont go to 100 for some reason) got 57c idle

What falken699 said. That's where mine works. About 70c under load.

ntune....... I tried that. Can't get the option for the fan speed to highlight so I can take advantage of it. Any ideas why not ?

ok i dowloaded nTune and my gpu has never peaked over 58C.

when im playing counterstrike and i alt-tab really quick i can notice that my core0 and core3 have a flame next to them but they are only at 49C and 54C, and thats the max for them...anything to worry about?
