I have a MSI starforce GF2 pro...and i wanna know if theres any software out there that can monitor the heat...or let me see how hot it is....do i have to do anything like plugging a thermostat or can i just use a software to do it...

Hey...Scooby if you see this tell me what youre using since you have the same card...

i do not think that MSI has a thermostat...to my knowledge the only companies with it are ASUS and Leadtek.....

Not with software, you'll need to buy a thermostat, like a DigiDoc

DigiDocs are expensive, CompuNurses are a good deal.

No help here I don't use anything. After the whole format/reinstall thing happened I quit screwing with it and I run it at 200/400 now which is faster than I really need it to be for now:)

However before I stopped screwing with it I did manage to overheat the ram so a temp probe would probably be a good thing! The system froze and on reboot I got the 5 short beep signal from my motherboard telling me I fried the ram, but after it cooled back down it worked again:)

BTW, How are your 3DMark2K1 scores getting along? Break 4K yet?

Well if your motherboard has a place to plug a thermistor in you could always just plug one in and try to get the thing as close to the GPU as possible and then you could use software to monitor. Of course it wouldn't be accurate. Temperature would be higher then what you were seeing but it's better then nothing.
