    Hello All,

    I have been using RivaTuner to monitor my gpu temps and overclock my gpu/memory. Recently I downloaded I8kfangui30beta3, which will now work with E1705. However I noticed a 10 deg C difference between the 2 programs for the GPU temp transducer. RivaTuner will read exactly 10 deg higher, which actually matches 7800go gpu expected temps. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

    Thanks,
    Jack

    This is a known issue, you can actually make an off set of 10deg in the options on I8kfanguibeta3 and make it the same. The Nvidia drivers read the temperature from the gpu core and the I8kfanguibeta3 reads it from the card it self (as explained here), so just off set it in the options.
