Overdrive Temperature display

grimace · Dec 19, 2003, 02:08 AM

I have an ATI 9600xt, and i have suspicions that its overheating while overdrive is on. My games crash less than an hour into gameplay with it on. Is there any way to activate the thermal sensors and view the temps right now or do i have to wait till the new Cat's that were in that sneak peak.

Hey Grimace, there is not way I know of to enable it, Its not there. Try to take your side off of your case and see if you can play for any longer amount of time.

Some people have had no luck running the Overdrive feature. I would recommend trying another overclocking utility such as Radclocker or Powerstrip and see if that might cure your problems.

Get the newest version of Riva Tuner. I've got my gpu temp showing right now using it. You can get it from www.guru3d.com.
