Anyone know of a utility that will overlay the CPU, MB and Video Card temps on a 3D Games screen? -Larry

> Anyone know of a utility that will overlay the CPU, MB and Video Card temps on a 3D Games screen? I don't, but I have a system with 5 hard drives, ATI X850XTPE, and P4EE3.4GHZ, and it's quieter with the side cover off than on because the motherboard and video card cooling fans run slower.

PC temps do not change second by second, so why not just find a little utility that will display the temps (most MoBo manufactors supply them with OEM Software, or as a download from thier site) and simply alt/tab between your game and the utility? Otherwise you might want to check some of the hardcore gameing sites, Im sure someone will have developed something somewhere. -- Moppie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moppie's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?userid=1935 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=516270 http://www.automotiveforums.com

I've got a similar system.....One word - Zalman ;-)
I don't think there's one that will write to the screen (although that would be a cool FRAPS addon) - I've used systool. It gives the values in the systray, and will keep a running log graph so you can pop out of the game and see what the temps are like. It doesn't seem to have wide M/B support - it recognizes my AsRock 939 board, but not my MSI KT6V. http://www.techpowerup.com/systool/ HTH, Kendt
Ok, that might work for me. I'll give it a try. Thanks! -Larry "[email hidden]" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

No room for it in the box. The break-out box took up all the space :) -Larry "PlowBoy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:FNuEf.422$NR.301@dukeread12...
