Geforce 6600

[John W.]

i have a geforce 6600 (bet u couldn't have guessed that one either, huh?) and I had contacted NVidia and they said I could monitor the temp and control the core clock speed from the setting s menu. Well I haven't gotten back with them and ran across this forum so I thought I would ask you. I have covered their desktop menu the XP device menu and hardware properties and have yet to find anything describing or controling these items. can you enlighten me please.

Thanks

there could be a sensor but the card manufacturer may have disabled it. I just read that 6600GT's (that's what I have) have them but most manufacturers disable them to discourage OC'ing. On the 6600GT you have to mod the BIOS (yes modding IS actually in here somewhere). I'll give you a link but if yours ain't a GT then it might not work.

Here it is.

Enabling Temperature Monitoring on the nVidia 6600GT

If you want to Control your Clock speed that's easy just google Coolbits. It's a registry file that adds itself in and all you have to do is open the cards settings and voila. I'll go ahead and give ya a link for that too.

Coolbits 2.0 on 3D Guru

And if that don't work this attachment also contains Coolbits but I can't ever get attachments to work right on forums. Whatta ya know I think it works.
