Are there any video card temperature monitoring software?
I have overclocked my 6600GT to 552/1180 MHz core/men. Was wondering whether there are any graphic card temperature monitering software out there that can monitor the temperature and also record them for me to view later. I know the lastest Nvidia driver can monitor the temperature, but it doesn't record them, it's hard for me to monitor the temperature myself when I am playing a full screen game.

By the way, what temperature should I look out for under full load? Someone told me that the 6600GT is stable up to 80 degrees centigrade, is that true?

Those temps are great. Unless you are overclocking you won't need more cooling. If you are, then it should help...

yeah you can only get temps from your card if it is equipped with a thermal sensor/probe as wwwww said. All the 6xxx series of cards have them but the 5xxx series dont i dont think. Unless you put your own on

An infrared temp gun you can buy from RadioShack or someplace like that will show you truer temps than any software. They're a little more expensive than a $5 temp probe though.
