X800 XL DOES HAVE TEMP MONITOR!!!!

[grimlykindo]

With ATI TOOLS I have full temp monitor for GPU and environment!

MY TEMPS ARE:

GPU:39c idle/66c full load
Environment: somewhere around 35c at all times

can you believe it? (it must be my 80mm fan blowing right on it from my side panel)

yeah...I get about 35C idle and 55C load when my 6800NU isn't overclocked...when it's overclocked I get about 40C idle and 62C on load. What, you didn't think the X800 XL had a temperature monitor?

NO, I posted last week and everybody said that the X800 XT was the only one with a temp monitor.

I think the XT is the only one that shows the Temperatures in the Control Panel. I had my X800 Pro and it took me a few hours to figure out that ATiTool shows you the temps as well.

No they didnt. From your last topic:

I have a BBA Radeon X800 XL and it has temp. monitoring via ATITool. You need to use ATITool 0.24 beta 2 or higher. Latest beta version is 0.24 beta 5. You can find it here.

As you can see, people told you it did.

Well actually,

NONE of the ATI TOOL versions worked until I uninstalled the ATI CONTROL PANEL

and Rivatuner temp didn't work either with or without control panel,

Now I have ATI TRAY TOOLS without the ATI CONTROL PANEL and it seems to work fine

The thing that I don't get is that ATI wants to try to keep the card's temps a "secret" on all but a few of the cards. Why can't they just have the temp monitor on, at the very LEAST, all of their X8x0 cards? Even NVIDIA has their temp monitor on their low-end 6200. This, to me, seems pretty ridiculous. And even though you can get the temps of your card, why should it be up to you to get a 3rd party app to get temp readings? This is something I just don't understand. Why is it that much of a "high-end" thing that only their super ridiculously expensive cards have the temps readily available in the driver control panel. Even though you can get temp readings on more than the "special" cards, one must get even a special driver (the "Catalyst Control Center") to even get access to them with a 3rd party app. This is just too ridiculous! :|

your temp is a bit high. Mine idle at around 34 and around 50 at full load. I'm using VF700 cooler, but it shouldn't make that big of a difference other than noise.

Probably because its tied to Overdrive. Why does Nvidia "hide" overclocking from all its users when only a registry key is required to enable it?
