    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to figure out a way to measure my GPU temps and be able to monitor them in-game. I've tried rivatuner, ATItool, and hwmonitor and neither of them display the temp.
    Rivatuner can see that it is there but it doesn't have any OC or temperature monitoring abilities. ATItool says that the kernal driver isn't running so it doesn't work. Hwmonitor sees my CPU but it doesn't display that my graphics card is even there.

    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    HWMonitor should be displaying your temps. What driver version are you using?

    Do you have the latest Catalyst drivers? The ones that came on my disk, 1.4 I think, didn't show the GPU in HWmonitor.

    Also make sure you have the latest HWmonitor. I'm using HWmonitor with Catalyst 10.7 and my GPU temps are displayed.

    i was using Everest Ultimate sidebar gadget, however it´s only visible on the desktop not in the game itself. It was quite useful for me, but when i realised that my temps dont get over 80 on idle on d900f i stopped using that gadget. just what i´m planning to do is to buy a nzxt cryo lx to lower it a bit. u can try all the options mentioned here.
