Video Card Cooling

I just purchased a PNY Ti4400, and it didn't come with any thermal monitoring utility. Anyone know where I can download one?

Welcome to the forums, well you dont really need one IMHO unless you overclock the card or up the AGP voltage your temps arent going to be bad. Even if you do then a good GPU cooler will keep you just fine to where you wont need to be looking at the temps.

Cool....actually I AM overclocking just a bit....and I was curious how the temps change. Not to the point where I am worried, just curious

i don't think that graphics card manufacturers have thermal monitoring

My old ASUS Geforce2 GTS had one...and if you go to ASUS's website, they have thermal monitoring for all ASUS products....but I can't get the sw to work with non-ASUS cards...any solutions?

Get one of those Compunurse things - it's a little LCD with a thermal probe; stick the probe next to the GPU.

anyone else know of any apps out there?

If the card does not have [hardware] thermal monitoring support built in (and your doesn't), no app on this side of the galaxy is going to magically read the temp off of it. Go with Jeff7's advice. It's the ONLY way you're going to be able to gauge the card's temp.
