Hey guys/gals,
I installed my x1950xtx card today and it works after trawling for drivers, not yet tested it on steam...
Anyway, speedfan is showing only 2 fans the case and cpu but not my gpu fan, also its not showing the temps of my gpu but everest is picking up everything, i dont get why this is though? if there a better program than speedfan? or do i need to uninstall and remove my reg entrys of speed fan to make it find everything afresh?

Perhaps ATI Tool might do the job?

rivatuner. lets you do loads of thigs, overclock, speed fan up, i've set up custom fan settings with it so it speeds the fan up, the red sections are different threshholds.

Edit, not sure how well it works but i think you can also set it up to overclock the gpu when you start a game up, then turn it back down when you close it.

Looks interesting, have you tried NVIDIA's own utility? It also allows you to overclock (both GPU and MoBo/CPU), control fans and has a good 'autotune' system which slowly increments all clocks one at a time until the system becomes unstable, then backs it down to find a stable setting.
You can produce a number of clocked profiles(either manually, or by using the autotune), and then apply custom rules to it i.e. load setting X when application Y is started, when application Y is closed, apply setting Z etc etc.
With my current system, i can run CoD WaW at my max res with all the graphics/texture bells and whistles set to max, at standard bus speeds, without any glitching or problems - all i need to do is set my GPU's fan speed to max, which keeps it at a steady 50 degrees under full load. With auto fan control, the temp rises up to 65 - 70 degs, and i start to get some glitching.
I'm waiting to see a demo of Modern Combat 2, as i reckon it should be a bit more demanding, and may need a bit of a system tweak to get it to run smoothly at high settings.

I'm a bit stuck on my counter strike problem, its called mouse lag apparantly and the biggest connection ive seen either falls down the a logitech gaming mouse or ATI graphics cards. Hmm maybe its a voltage problem? Confused
