I've ghettorigged a fan from an old pentium hSF and thermalpasted some screws to the ram. Now i wanna see how hot the GPU/VPU gets. Is there some program outt here that will tell me, something like HDD Health or Asusprobe?
The only way to get a reading from that 9600 NP (according to your sig) is to measure it with an external thermometer or temperature probe from a device like the DigiDoc 5.
There is no temperature equipment embedded on the 9600 NP series, so unfortunately you can't just "read" the temperature from the card.
Most ASUS mobo's I've ever had have a pair of pins for hooking a thermal probe (thermal diode) for certain brands of PSU to monitor the temp of the PSU...I've hooked a bead type thermal probe to those pins and have used ASUSProbe to monitor the temps on the diode and it worked quite well.
You might be able to locate a set of replacement thermal diodes for a DIGI-DOC 5 or something along those lines as it will fit the pins perfectly.
If so it's just a matter of taping the thermal diode to the rear of the GPU and enabling the reading in ASUSProbe and going from there. Good luck.
Im gonna do Geeky1's AMD stock sink mod to my radeon and my case seems to have a thermal probe thingy for the front that i stuck near the cpu die.. i'll just take that out and stick it near my gpu... right after i strap that hugeass sink on there =D
