Temperature log

[TroyEade]

I have an Antec 900 case, and an X1950 Pro GPU (plus associated parts). After playing WOW or TF2 for a while, i start to get strange gfx on the screen. Keeping the system on, and playing games, the PC will eventually reboot.

Therefore I assume it's a temperature issue. I have checked all the fans, blown out the dust, and upped the fans on the case. Still does it.

So, can anyone recommend some temeprature software that logs the temp of the M/B, CPU, and GFX so i can see where the problem is, please? i.e. if the system reboots, or plays up, i can view the log files of each core item.

Cheers.

PS I have installed the latest ATI drivers. Now got it so when the system blues screens, it doesn't auto reboot, so i can see the BSOD.
PPS I use XP 32 bit

Download HWmonitorand run it. Play something til you start to see artifacts, then immediately alt-tab out and read the GPU temp under the "max" column. Better yet, post a screenshot

Also try RealTemp, it logs temps as long as it's running. It'll do up to 24 hours continuous logging of temps.

realtemp will log temp of each core, the GPU temp, and the processor % used.

Webtemp is the best damned logging/graphing app I have found.

Using a temperature monitor, i get around 80C for AUXTIN, what is AUXTIN?

Cheers,

last time I needed temperature-logging by CPU-core, I used CoreTemp -- which has that feature. You can specify the logging interval in the program's setup screen -- I think the longest interval is 8 seconds. Once the log-file is available, you can block-copy the columnar sample data (even over several hours), load it into Excel, get summary descriptive statistics and even generate bar-graphs.

And this isn't restricted to CoreTemp -- which seems to be less-favored these days. RealTemp ought to do it; Everest allows you to do it.
