Not able to monitor 5850 GPU temp

Hello all, I recently had my 260M card die in my M15X so I had Dell send me a 5850 in its place and it seems to work fine but I am unable to monitor the GPU temp. I have tried both ATI Tray tools and HWMonitor and neither of them work for me. I have tried the Dell driver and am currently using the 11.2 drivers and with both it is the same result, any ideas?

Try GPU-Z (Sensors tab) (techPowerUp! :: Downloads) and HWiNFO32 (Sensors)(http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html).

One question here, how do I monitor temperature during the gaming? I mean, during playing the games, there are digits indicating temperature at upper left corner, for an example.

For me, i open HW-info32, then i play game, after that i look at the Max tab, it records the maximum temp your card or processor ever hit. Mine went 78C on DMC4.

Thanks, Indiran for your suggestion.



Someone else suggests using MSI Afterburner to display in-game GPU temperature. Then again, I can only get MSI Afterburner to display GPU load, no matter what sort of setting I tried. Man, it is frustrating.
