Default What is a Good GPU Temp Monitor?
Like the title said. Wana compare my 2 4850s so I can see if there is any need for non-stock coolers.

I love evga precision. Great menu, Low requirement, easy to read. Only thing that could possibly turn you off is that you need to be registered with evga to get the software, it is free though.

edit: oops not nvidia. Uh, Gpu-z is nice as well. Just like cpu-z but for your gpu!

Thanks for the fast replies guys!

I jumped on GPU-Z and its showing both my 4850s running at about 75-78 degrees while dual screening WoW (running at 1920x1200 and full graphics) in windowed mode and having misc explorer windows and such loaded on the other screen (running at 1600x1200).

Are these temps ok for what I'm running?

(edit: BTW Im running each card separate. I turned off and loaded the other card in and vice versa so these are not in crossfire or anything)

Also whats a good program to play around with fan controls? Does ATI have it in there catalyst software? I never usually get it just the display driver itself.

Yep ATI CCC should have the fan controls. Just make sure to enable Overdrive, then just move the slider to whatever you want the fan speed to be.
