I have an irritating situation.
When I first got my new 6600 GT video card, there was a temperature monitor that I could use in the NVIDIA settings program by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting NVIDIA display, and then my monitor name. Well, that option has now gone away, since I updated my BIOS in the video card, NVIDIA drivers, and other things like that. Now I cannot find a way to get my GPU temperature... I'm very irritated. I've tried HEX editors for the BIOS (which, when I read something on the Internet saying what to change and how to do it, didn't work because the @VGA update utility claimed that the BIOS file had a "Checksum error" and that it wouldn't work), reverting back to old drivers, reading countless websites about it from Google searches, and much more. I've not been able to find anything that works. I've tried RivaTuner and many other programs like that.
I am fed up with this. I want to know the temperature of my video card because I'd like to investigate overclocking it, but without a temperature monitor, I don't feel comfortable doing it.
Has anyone else had this problem? I've mentioned this before on different threads, but have gotten no answers. I decided it was time for a new thread about it.
Hope someone has some information about this...
