    Unfortunately for some reason I can't see the 970M temperature on any software I tried.

    I also tried to unistall e reinstall the drivers but nothing seems working.

    Still try to find out a solution to this.... :(

    I bought it 2/3 weeks after the official release. Upgradeyourlaptop were selling only 5 of them on eBay.

    I paid 340£ for the card, 40£ for the delivery fee.
    Because the delivery was from America I had to pay 140£ on top, for custom clearance fee. :(

    The new 347 drivers finally fixed my issue with the temp monitoring.

    I just took a look quickly while playing Far Cry 4, temp was around 70 degrees.
