I need a software that monitors GPU temps...

I know there are a bunch of programs out there that tell you your GPU temp (RivaTuner, ExperTool, nVidia settings) but I want one that tells me my video memory temps too. Thanks.
 
Temp detection in regular computers can be done in two ways.

1. Embedded ? Most diodes conductivities is sensitive to temperature. By embedding an extra diode in the Chip and giving it a connection to the winbond to provide information about Temperature. The software that provides the Temperature reading is programmed to read and translate the Winbond information.

I doubt that GPU memory or any of the consumers? memory chips is equipped with such a diode.

2. Attaching outside termistor to the surface of the Chip and measure the termistor conductivity (which depends on the temperature) with third party device. Or using the Game port as an A/D converter and write your own utility.

D'oh!

My ramsinks are hot to the touch (like I can't keep my finger on them for more than a few seconds)...is this normal?

Wow, you have RAM coolers and they are hot to the touch? Exactly how much are OC'ing?

I'm not OCing at all. Look at my video card...6800Ultra...so with mere copper ramsinks am I supposed to be able to cool this thing so it's not hot to the touch? :disgust:
 
i would help you but a pet peeve of mine is when people say 'a software'
I hate it so much
It is the same as when people pluralize the word ram and say 'these rams'
 
nvmonitor works pretty well too.

edit: to date there is no software that can monitor the temperature of the memory.

Yeah that's what I figured. I know ASUS puts sensors in their video cards so you can monitor it with ASUS SmartDoctor, but that only works in ASUS brand cards.

I ran 3DMark05 with no artifacts, played some CS:S for about 20 minutes fine, so I guess as long as I don't get any artifacts it's fine.
