Everest is great, but....

Does anyone know of a utility that will measure the temperature
of an AGP card? (With a Fan.)
Or, have I overlooked an area of evererst & aida?
The fan on my card said 'no more', and I want to watch a
gauge keep track of how hot it gets prior to failure.
(& to know what a good range of temperature is the norm'.0

I thought that the software that comes with the cards did that?

Anyway, try your question in

alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati

or

alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia

The guys there know this stuff inside out.

I don't recall AID32 being able to do temps of a video card (GPU), and just
opening at my last latest v3.93 of AID just now no it does not show it;
however looking at newer versions of Everest yes from the Home to the
Enterprise versions does show and will measure the GPU temperature but of
course in all cases your card needs to have the sensor in place first!
...if it doesn't then there's no way in heaven you will get a reading; same
with the cards fan rpm. Even my 6600GT video card yes has GPU temp
measurements but as fancy as the card is still does not have an rpm of the
vc's fan - but some cards do yes.

Each card has its temperature operating ranges, and some of the newer fancy
gaming cards run much hotter than normal cards - my card is a fancy but
middle of the road card, and here's a screenshot of what Everest shows on
mine with that and my temps are normal for it, and if you have a temp
sensor on your video card showing GPU temps then you can go by the ranges
of what mine says which I know are normal, and here's my screenshot showing
GPU temps as reference:
