Determing GPU temps and overclocking a 9800 Pro

[Manzelle]

How can you tell how hot your video card is running? Also, I am using stock cooling on my 9800 Pro and have the core overclocked to 405 while the memory remains at 378. How safe is this?

Most 9800pro's don't have temp monitoring. What brand is yours?

 

[Manzelle]

Sapphire

there is a program "AIDA32 ENTERPRISE EDITION" that has temperature monitoring functions, it can tell the temp of your mobo, around the card, if that's any help.

 

[Manzelle]

I have that...I would like something that tells temperatures of the video card itself if there is such a thing...

Get a thermistor and put it on the card. It has no thermal diode to take temperature readings off of.

Yes, I have put a thermal sensor that came with the case and it works quite well. It idles @42-45C and 50-55C full load. (stock speeds).

Good idea...thanks...
