    Hello,

    For those who have laptops with 8600M GT (DDR2 256MB) card, I have some questions...

    1. What driver do you use?

    2. What program do you use to monitor GPU temp?

    3. What program do you use to monitor CPU temp?

    4. How much can it be overclocked (on a driver level)?

    5. What program do you use to control CPU/GPU fan speeds?


    Thanks in advance! :)

    1. What driver do you use?
    169.04

    2. What program do you use to monitor GPU temp?
    I8kfanGUI, RivaTuner when gaming [so I can see the temp while gaming]

    3. What program do you use to monitor CPU temp?
    I8kfanGUI, NHC

    4. How much can it be overclocked (on a driver level)?
    Never tried. :eek:

    5. What program do you use to control CPU/GPU fan speeds?
    I8kfanGUI. I force my fans to work at maximum right after playing a game

    Is I8kfanGUI accurate? It usually reads the same as with NHC and RivaTuner, most of the time just 1 deg Celsius difference.
