Title: Monitoring hardware temperatures ingame
Post by: Kitsune on December 14, 2008, 10:46:43 am: Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to see my GPU and CPU temperatures when I'm doing things in full screen like being ingame. I want something that displays the temperatures somewhere on the screen, similar to the FPS counter for fraps. I remember seeing a program that could do this but I can't remember what it's called and I had no luck on google so far.

This program shows temperatures out of game, which isn't what I'm looking for. I need something with an ingame overlay, or is there an option somewhere on Speedfan?

Post by: Kitsune on December 15, 2008, 12:59:16 pm: I finally found a program that does exactly what I want it to do, RivaTuner, although it needs to have Everest running too to get the CPU temperature, but that's not a problem as I already had Everest. It was pretty complicated to set up but it works well. However, there one very big problem, which is that it works in every game I have tried except SAMP and this is extremely annoying. Even if I play normal GTASA it works fine, but when I play SAMP nothing shows up on the OSD. If anyone knows how to get it working or knows another program that may work with SAMP, let me know!

Just to show you what it looks like when it works, this is a screen shot from normal GTASA:

The program is called PC Wizard 2008 (1.81 version) and it shows EVERYTHING about your PC (hardware and software) and shows the CPU load, CPU votage, core temp, CPU temp and CPU frequency when you minimize it (even ingame too) :)
