how do i check temp on 9800 pro?

[timcheng00]

If this card has a temp probe built in, where can i get software for it?

If not, what is the easiest way for me to be able to check the temperature of the card?


also: after downloading catalyst v4.7 drivers my card shows up as a 9800XT. What exactly does that mean...? (like good news/bad news)

You card does not have a temperature probe. That would only be a 256mb card that was flashed to a 9800XT.

As far as the name changing for your card, don't sweat it.

go to the overdrive tab

rightclick on desktop ----> settings ----> advanced ----> overdrive.

I think these are just underclocked 9800xt's so they may have the temp probe, check it ou!

thanks for the replies.
Cawchy: i can't find an option for 'overdrive' and how do i check if theres a temp probe...?

Nebor: i'm not sweating. is there any good news?

Overdrive isn't available on the 9800 Pro unless it can be modded into a 9800 XT and even if that's possible some Radeon 9800 Pro's modded into a XT may still not have overdrive available.

Tim, you said your card showed up as a 9800xt... all 9800xt's and 9600xt's have the overdive tab in the catalyst control panel. Sorry, i don't have much experiance with this card. Double click on the catalyst control panel and see if you see any tabs that say that.

my card is NOT a 9800xt it just shows as one. it is an MSI 9800 Pro.

 

[Cawchy87]

If it shows as one then you should have the overdrive tab. But i guess you don't.

The msi 9800 pro (rx9800) is a 9800 pro with a r360 (xt) core.


From this review:

As the picture clearly shows, the core is indeed R9800XT (R360). However, the board does NOT have temperature sensor enabled thus there is no support for OverDrive function.
