Temperature monitoring

Doker · 08-26-10, 06:57 PM

My new Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 480 arrived this afternoon. Awesome card. Only bought though because my ATI 4870x2 died last week. Forced to get a new card.

Since my last two cards have been ATI, I am lost as to what software I can use to monitor the temperature of my nvidia gigabyte gtx 480. A quick google search did not help. What software can I use to monitor the temperature?

Thank you to both of you. Just downloaded it. 44c at 60% fan. Not bad at idle. Nice. Thanks again!

EVGA Precision is also another good one. It allows monitoring multiple nVidia cards (if you have more then one installed) as well as overclocking and fan control, plus the usual monitoring graph.

I also use MSI Afterburner to OC and monitor temps/fan/clock speeds.

Use that software and overclock your video card while your at it

The MSI tool also lets you set up a fan profile so that you can keep it quieter until it reaches higher temperatures or keep it cooler (depending on preference)
