Utility to monitor GPU temperature? (overclocked 9800np)

[kwest2]

I overclocked my 9800np Samsung 3.3ns memory to 420/347 (lowered from initial artifacts at 440/360) and am wondering if it could be running too hot. I don't want to shorten the life on the card.

Aquamark score went from 37500 to 43500, a nice improvement.

You might want to drop it to something like 410/340 to be absolutely certain you're not going to kill the card early.

Btw - did you flash to Pro or not? If not, then I'd strongly recommend you do. You will probably get even more out of your memory (like 370 MHz or something) and then you can set it to ~350 for the long haul.

No I did not flash it to pro. Don't want to risk that. Thanks for the advice.
