BFG 6600GTOC no temps?!

amd64oc · Jan 22, 2005

I have recently bought a BFG 6600GTOC and love it. However I cannot seem to figure out why I can't see any temps for the card in the properties. I know the XFX cards can do it so why can't my BFG do it? Does anyone out there have any idea why this is? Cheers.

How does it overclock? If it does poorly I would RMA it. It sounds to me that your thermal-diode is busted. It could be an indication of a cripple chip and if you have any sort of issues with it, ditch it.

Your temps should be available in the driver menu where you change the quality settings.

It seems to overclock okay. In Coolbits it goes to about 570/1.14 before the artifacts start showing up on Aquamark. This seems about average, I think. Let me know. Anyone else have the no temps issue.

i have never had a program to tell me my temps with a bfg card~~

It's a new feature of the Geforce 6x00 series cards.

Your temp info should be available in the driver menu. If its not the card's diode is defective. Seeing how yours clocks high I would simply ignore it.

i cant see the temps on my evga 6600gt either... was lookin for it all day, and i cant really oc that high either..

I emailed BFG tech support yesterday and I'm waiting to here back from them. I want to here what they had to say about it. We shall see. Sorry to here that bohansen. Maybe an RMA is in order.

I have an MSI and no temp monitor either.

Very odd.... I could have sworn that 6600s supported the thermal diode as well. I guess I am wrong in that reguard. Thanks for the heads up guys.

I can't beleive it. That sucks. Oh well,that's the only thing I don't like about it.
Everything else is amazing for the price.

my freinds msi dosnt have a temp moniter either. But my xfx agp one does, and it clocked
@ 585/1200 stock, and w/ my uber heatsink on it it goes 605/1200 stable, no artifacts

Just got a response from BFG and these cards do not have the temp sensors on them. Straight from the horses mouth. Oh well.

Damn...well you cant fault it too much. It IS only $200

Strange, my BFG 6600 GT OC has a temp sensor on it which outputs the temps in my display adapters control panel. :\

BFG 6600GTOC no temps?!
