SpeedFan read my GPU temps just fine in XP home. Now with Vista Ultimate 32, no more GPU temp.

What's the solutions?

No. I can get temps in RivaTuner but I was used to having them in SpeedFan. I just want my GPU temps back in SpeedFan.

Well SpeedFan is up to version 4.35 now and it still will not report GPU temps in Vista 64. :pfff: I really liked the graphing with SpeedFan using XP to monitor VGA temps during heavy loads.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Best suggestion is to dual boot, though it is redundant to dual boot for the sole purpose of monitoring temperature.

I wouldn't switch back to XP for any reason. Vista is a great OS. I'll just wait or try to find another program.

I know this is not a Vista thread, but let me say that the earlier shortcomings of Vista, (which are now very few), are far outweighed by the outstanding performance.

I rarely encounter this situation with a program being incompatible with Vista and usually when I do it's a 3rd party situation. Yes, more and more software is being updated to work with Vista 32 and 64.

Remember, it's not that Speed Fan doesn't work... It is only missing a feature, or so it appears.

Oh, and remember all the dire warnings about upgrading from Win98 to XP? It's those same people again. :pt1cable:

There are two chances of Windows 7 being released within a year of the projected rollout... Slim and None. :pfff:
