    Hello everyone reading this,

    I've recently got a new laptop, with an ATI Mobility X1800. I would like to know the temperature of the card, but can't seem to get any program to display it. I've tried Everest Home Edition, and Ultimate Edition, but to no avail. I've also tried Speedfan, but it can't detect either.

    I'm still not sure if the card actually has a temperature sensor inside it. Any help will be much appreciated.

    ATI Tool?

    Try that.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but still no luck. ATI Tool brings up core and memory speeds, but nothing for temperature.

    I have the same problem with my notebook, no program will show the temperature of the GPU. I don't think there is a fix for the problem, unfortunately.

    I feel there must be some way to identify the temperature. The fan certainly knows when to come on, so i'm thinking that the computer won't let any program access the temperature. Are there any Mobility X1800 owners that have managed to get temperatures out there?
