Nvidia cards and thermal management?
Hi,
Do any Nvidia cards (especially the GeForce series) have on-die thermal sensor diodes for core temperature measurement? I have had two cards fail because of faulty fans. Seeing how the GPU cooler fans, by default, don't incorporate any kind of RPM monitoring (and removing heatsink and/or fan in most cases voids warranty), I was wondering if Nvidia has any provisions for on-die thermal monitoring and management of the GPU? I don't think AGP port incorporates separate pins to accomodate this feature in a way that Intel's Slot1 does, so any such monitoring would be left to the graphics card driver. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Tonci |

Do any Nvidia cards (especially the GeForce series) have on-die thermal
sensor diodes for core temperature measurement? The 6800GT does. Is that it? I would hope that all current and future cards incorporate this feature. It gives great piece of mind to know that if the fan fails, the hardware will not fry itself. |

So does the 5900. In fact temp monitorin goes on constantly and the fan speed
increases or decreases according to temp. Do any Nvidia cards (especially the GeForce series) have on-die thermal sensor diodes for core temperature measurement? The 6800GT does. |
