Temperature monitor for 8800GT

[eNxy]

Hi,

I have two 8800GT's, in SLI, different clock speeds, and difference makes, but I have the slightly faster one running at the slower clock speed to match the stock one. When I use RivaTuner to monitor the temperature on the GPU, it only shows the first one, which I have shown on the bottom right of the desktop so I can monitor it. My question is - Is it possible to monitor both cards (PCI 1 and PCI 2) and have both of them on the bottom right of the desktop, so I can see the temperatures. I know naturally the 2nd one will be higher in temperature as it's right on top of my X-Fi Fatal1ty, but I'd like to keep an eye on it just incase.

One last strange thing - When I load up GPU-Z, it shows both cards, however, it only displays the temperatures of the 1st card in PCI 1. When I flick onto the card in PCI 2 it doesn't show a temperature ? Anyone have any ideas ? I know that the 2nd card has a temperature diode on it, because before I went SLI, I used RivaTuner to monitor the single 8800GT.

Thanks in advanced.

I'm guessing it's not possible ?

Doesn`t nVidia's new and snazzy monitoring program (which is a pos imo) let u select the card's info within it's settings ?

All other things negative about it to one side, it does seem to let u select practically anything else about ur pc, cpu, drives, memory etcetc, I would be mightily supprized that the 2 cards aren't in there to select as an option, with perhaps one of the cards being on there as default.

(it's that crappy rotating devices option thingy)

I can give it a shot later, as my PC is at Uni and I'm at home. All I want to do is to monitor both the temperatures on the graphics cards rather than just one, I thought maybe just loading up two copies of RivaTuner might work and just manually selecting the diode and whatnot in the settings, but it seems to only lock onto the primary graphics card, totally ignoring the 2nd.

Im using this to monitor my 2 8800s in SLI

AH thanks so much, it looks like exactly what I've been looking for. I will have a test when I go back to Uni

No probs, hope it works.

Zomg, u saying that works on non-EVGA stuff too ? Cos that looks quite nifty (as long as the G15 support isn't just for the V2)

Got reps w8ing...

Seems to work on mine and controls the fan too.

A quick bit of googling says it does, apparently.

Oustanding. Did u just install the nVidia drivers only and then this ?

 

[TonyG]

updated drivers and then monitor,will need to do more testing tho.

I installed the program and I got it running, however the monitoring program only showed GPU1 in the main screen, I couldn't find the setting for GPU2 as well... Another funny thing was that I am 99% sure SLI is running as 1) It's enabled in the nVidia Control Panel, 2) I have that SLI bar indicator on and 3) When I press the "info" button on eVGA Precision it detects 2 graphics cards. Bah... all I want is to monitor both the graphics cards temperatures!!
