Q I’m concerned that my ATI X800 graphics card might be
getting too hot in my PC’s case. Is there any easy way to measure its
temperature during use?
Steve Burton
A The Overdrive section of the latest ATI graphics drivers
can indicate temperature, but it’s not always easy to check the crucial higher
temperatures during intensive 3D gaming.
To do this, download a copy of the excellent
Ati
Tool, click on Settings, then choose Temperature Monitoring from the
pulldown menu.
You can then tick the box to monitor temperatures and write them to a log
file.
Leave Ati Tool running while you play your game, then exit and examine the
temperature graph in Ati Tool to see what was happening while it was under load.
Graphics cards can run very hot and need adequate cooling and airflow within
a case.
