Name: Mattwizz3 (by mattwizz3)
I am getting annoyed with nVidias new control panel. What is even more annoying is that they have removed temperature monitoring from it. nTune is really a terrible program which looks awful and is crappy to use, so I don't want to use it.
Since Speed Fan dosent seem to be able to monitor the temperatures of my graphics card I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar small program that will read the temperatures of my GPU. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.Mattwizz3 : )

Not all cards support temp monitoring. Does yours? Have you been able to monitor the temps in the past?

Copy and paste the script below to a word or text document then save it as a .reg file. then click that file to add the info to your registry. this will bring back nvidia's classic GUI.

Yeah, I was able to monitor the temps in the past, and I can see them in nTune too but I really don't like that program. I'll see if I can get the classic control panel back.

If I put in that registry key in Vista freaks and says that the graphics driver was made for previous versions of windows. Then it reverts to basic Microsoft drivers.
I guess I will just forget about the temperature for the GPU, it was just nice to check it out every now and then.
Thanks anyway.Mattwizz3 : )
