How to enable temperature monitoring on Nvidia GeForce 6600 cards

01-23-09, 05:20 PM

Thanks but I really don't need anything more then GPU temp. I would be ********* glad to unlock this feature only.

I'm having weird thoughts that this manual on unlocking temp features would work for older Nvidia drivers, but with newest it makes no changes at all ? Could it be so ?
On the other hand I have a doubt that drivers has something to do with bios at all ?

Does your hex string 04031201 look like this "04 03 12 01 00 0A 01 11"

Some other instructions http://www.ocia.net/articles/tempmonitoring/page1.shtml

Yes it looked like that after bios flash, unfortunetly with no effect.. I did changed that value from "10" to "00" where it should be changed. Made a second already tweaked bios backup to check did it really took changes and yes it did. But as I said I could not see any temperature monitoring where it should be seen..

Google EVGA Precision. It is a utility that is made for Nvidia cards. You can do more than just GPU temps with it as welll.

That's more like it I think, thanks, will give it a try

It is an excellent utility. Shows FPS, temps, fan control if your card is equiped. Can do some overclocking safely. I use it and it is a great little utility from EVGA. EVGA just soups up Nvidia cards anyway so it should work for your card without issue.

Excelent indeed!

Works fine and looks simple to the eye, the way I like it.
Had built in the new VGA cooler so I wish to keep an eye on temps for a week or so.
For now temp in ordinarry state is 47 Celsius.
Haven't tested it in game mode so far but I think everything is going to be O.K.

Appreciated again for this fine utility
