Probably a stupid question about RivaTuner

In the hardware monitor, it's only showing core clock and memory clock graphs... how do I get it to show the others? (i.e. temperatures, fan speeds)

I have a radeon 9800pro
 
1. Setup in low right hand corner
2. Find your desired settings in Data Sources and check them
3. If you can't find them go into Plugins in the lower left hand corner
4. Check desired settings.
5. OK
6. Check the settings you just added from Plugins in Data Sources
7. OK

Thanks... a lot of the files in the plugins list suggest that they are for specific video cards, does that mean they won't work for me?

Is it possible that my video card is so old that there is no way to monitor its fan speed and temperature?
 
Play around and check everything *shrugs*. old cards should still have temp monitors, you just probably haven't checked the right settings.
 
Enabled all the plugins and while I did get quite a few new graphs to show up, there was no data being monitored on them
 
I think if you look at the fan, it will only have 2 wires, so there won't be speed monitoring. If I recall correctly, the 9800 pro normally didn't have a temperature monitor. I think the 9800 XT did have a monitor, so if you have a pro with an XT core, you might have a chance at getting a successful temperature monitor (I think it was like a RV250 vs RV260 core or something like that). Of course, that was a while ago, so I may be totally wrong here.

/edit: OK, I had to look it up because it was bugging me. It was the RV350 vs. 360 core. But that had nothing to do with it apparently. The XTs started coming with a temp monitoring chip, but some pros did come with it. Check out this:

Thanks for taking the time to find that... I have no temp monitoring, oh well. Guess I'll just touch it with my toes and guess the temperatures under stress while I'm playing a game.
