X800XT Question...

[fish]

I just installed an X800XT (AIW) into a system with a freshly installed
WinXP SP2 OS. The first driver sets I installed were the Cat 5.5's with the
Catalyst Control Center.

Where is the GPU temperature reading. I was told there is on in the driver
but I can't find it.


My system is a P4 3.0E at 3760Mhz, water cooled.

Overdrive tab. Or use ATITool.

Thanks, I used ATItool.

Speaking of temps. I've seen monitoring temps at an idle 58ºC and as high as
89ºC and a consistent 81ºC after playing Doom3 for a while. The fastest I
can get the GPU is 530MHz, my buddies X800XT does an easy 560MHz. My memory
will do 580MHz and a little higher with a nice stream of air running across
the chips.

I just threw on a Zalman ZM80C-HP and I custom mounted a Zalman 120mm fan on
it. I have a Swiftech water cooler with two radiators with a 120mm fan each
for the CPU only. An 80mm fan out the back and a Zalman 400w PSU all in a
LianLi case with an 6 fan variable speed controller. Idle temps are now 45ºC
with the fans down low (its VERY quiet) and 41ºC with the fans up (noisy but
not loud). I'm seeing temps around 58ºC running AquaMark or 3D Marks back to
back and in upper 60's playing Doom3. Much lower then the stock HSF but
still hot. The extra cooling got me only a few extra MHz on the core and 40+
MHz on the memory.

All this time my case temp stayed between 31ºC and 36ºC and CPU temps are
44ºC idle and never any higher then 51ºC working hard.

What is the Overdrive Tab?
