Visiontek Ti 4200 GPU Temperature
My Ti4200 128m GPU stays at 41c whether I'm staring at my desktop or playing
F1 2002 for an hour. I guess the GPU is always running full blast. Hmmm...where else can I put some sensors, how about the memory chips? Yes, that's it! Interesting.. Pete |

Oh. I guess I don't need that temp reading that badly. I'll wait for the
fan to fall off. Thanks "pete" wrote in message ... I bought a Thermaltake Spark 7 HSF for my P4 2.0 and used the sensor it came with for my video card. The P4 2.0 and Asus mobo already ha a sensor for the CPU. And the mobo has an open 2 pin slot for an extra sensor. I put the sensor under the GPU heatsink next to the GPU on the heatsink. Yes I did have to break the old heatsink off the GPU, the Visiontek card uses a real nasty glue to hold the heatsink to the GPU. I used a pair of 720 Channel locks to pry it off. Let me tell you, don't try this at home. Once it finally came off it made a very load snap and the card and heatsink and channel locks went flying across the room(poor grip). The reason I took it off was because there was 1/32" gap between the heatsink and GPU. The readings in my previous post were with the old HSF, now with it replaced with a HSF from a Gainward ti4200 HSF I get 37c. I installed the Gainward HSF with left over Zalman Thermal epoxy that was used to hold my chipset cooler in place. Anyway, that's probably more info than you wanted. Have fun, Pete "jaster" wrote in message . .. "pete" wrote in message . .. My Ti4200 128m GPU stays at 41c whether I'm staring at my desktop or playing F1 2002 for an hour.
