    Ok guys, here's the low down

    After upgrading my 7700go drivers to 162.22 version, Riva Tuner reports that it may not be compatible with my driver's current version. I still continue to use it anyway.

    But I'm getting really high temperature readings that is not seen before. I'm hitting 88 degree celcius, previously it only hits 70+ .

    Also, the temperature readings are very erratic. It fluctuates up and down violently, with jumps of more than 10 degrees sometimes. This wasn't the case before.

    So I downloaded nTune to test out the temps.

    Is what I'm experiencing normal? Because I can't get nTune to display the GPU temps while I'm gaming, unlilke Riva Tuner, which displays the GPU temp on the top left hand corner while I'm gaming.

    This means that I can't monitor the temps using nTune.

    Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance :)
