    is my GPU temp too low (not that it's a bad thing!)?

    I've been monitoring my NP9261 GPU temp with rivatuner 2.06 and it seems a bit low to me. I have a single 7950GTX and it idles at around 38-41 C degrees. With fans on full power it comes down to 32-35 C degrees. When I'm gaming it goes up to about 53 C Degrees and with fans on full power it drops to about 50 C Degrees. I am not overclocking at all and I'm using my system in a room temperature enviornment.

    I know you can offset the temperature in rivatuner to compensate for any temperature discrepancy - I just was wondering what other programs I can use to get another temp reading so I know if I need to adjust rivatuner's readings or not.

    Thanks!

    Look at the built in application from nvidia. NVmonitor. I think it also has a history finction so you can record your temps during gaming.

    I'm using 169.09's and I can't seem to find an NVmonitor option in the control panel. Is there something I'm missing (i.e. coolbits)?

    I can't get into windows right now, but you might need to download it as a separate application. Check Nvidia website.

    Your temps are fine Jigolo. I have a single 7950GTX in my 9260 and I have about the same temps as yours. Guess time to overclock huh?

    Clevo designs these machines to run as cool as possible (just look at all the intakes on the bottom of your notebook!). Keep that nice, cool stability and enjoy it!
