What do you use to monitor temps, I just received a new 4870x2 and wondering what ati people use to monitor temperature, fan control and overclocking.

thanks
 
Um,

We use our drivers.

Catalyst Control Panel.

Unlike NPoo it lets us view our current clocks, our temperature, allows us to overclock our cards, change a multitude of display settings and with profiles and some simple text editing allows us to control our fans.

hmm, where in the control panel is it? you can do it with nvidia in the control panel as well, just need ntune installed.
 
Use the Overdrive portion of the Catalyst Control Panel.

RivaTuner, when it comes out with 2.10 is also good.

Unlike nvidia,you can do everything from Overdrive; and you don't need any stinking ntune.:eek::eek:

You should look in the "help" portion of the CCC, that might help. Or d/l the user's guide to the CCC.

Anyway, currently the fan controls for the 4800 series are not so good.

It works very well.
I have two 4870 X2s and the fans have been adjusted by that tweak to run at 45% duty cycle.

using everest myself

but the driver package has a monitor as well

the temp you see in the CCC ait package is showing the hotter GPU (farthers from the fan) so its always the warm one

mine dont exceed 88 after hours of crysis loops and the fan only hits the 3600 mark on occasion usually at the 2800 mark
 
side fan knocked off alot on idle temps for my cards, load didnt change much 2-3 degrees maybe
 
at 40 percent fan it runs fine, put a profile to run it at 65 when gaming and it stays 65-75 when playing cod4 just now
