Thanks in advance.

I'm having some overheating problems. My motherboard is equipped with
thermistors for CPU and Motherboard but I have to go into bios to see. A
big plus would be the ability to monitor the video card also.

Again thanks,

Dave H.

Perhaps a software cooler like VCool, Rain or CPUExtreme would be useful to
you. They'll show you the case & CPU temps...

What motherboard do you have ? Go to their website and search if there
is software for heat control. I have ASUS motherboard and I have
"ASUS Probe" utility for that purpouse.

Thanks all that replied. I have the temps and volts of the motherboard
because of your suggestions but can't seem to find a monitor for the video
card. I tried the manufacturers site with no luck.

Any suggestions appreciated,

What's your graphic's card chip ? If nVidia/Geforce based there is a
hardware monitor tab in the advanced properties -> nVidia / Geforce tab.

If it is an ATI I don't know ( but probably they do have something as well)

After reading previous posts I looked and there is not a temperature readout
anywhere. And yes, it is an ATI card.

I thank you anyway,

Interesting Tool ! Have nVidia card, but have downloaded just in case I
later get an ATI one.
They state it does Temp / FAN monitoring of the graphic card indeed.
