Temp monitoring app for OC'd ASUS X800 XT?

SkyBum · Feb 19, 2005, 06:44 AM

Just found out the hard way about the ASUS Smart Doctor crash problem (GRRRRRRR). I use Omega's drivers and am finally ready to OC the GPU but I just realized Radlinker has no temp monitoring option.

What app would you recommend I use for monitoring temps after I OC?

Also, how much of an OC should I set my sights on for an ASUS X800 XT with watercooling and ramsinks? Can I expect to reach PE speeds (or even slightly above)?

EDIT: ...or has ASUS fixed Smart Doctor in a release I'm not aware of? I was using the version off the install disc when i encountered the endless crash/reboot loop.

The latest ATI Tool beta has a temp monitoring for the X800 series, I just use radclocker for the overclocking and ATI Tool for the tempurature monitoring.

As for others im sure there out there but I dont know, maybe someone else here has some better imput.

I've just posted a thread which looks like your issue. Can you read it and confirm if it is the same thing.

Before installing SP2 I'd had no problems with the driver disk (which causes a crash and reboot the instant it tries to autorun) and Smartdoc (which crashes and reboots towards the end of the extraction part of the install).

I'd also appreciate it if you would look at your edge connector and let me know if the first gold strip on the front of the card (nearest the back plate) is shorter than the rest.

Cheers

Paul.
