GPU Temp monitoring

Good day,

I was wondering if it could be possible to monitor the temperature of our Radeon cards through software rather than breaking out the multimeter temperature lead?

The reason I am wondering is that I've switched my loud stock cooler for the massive Thermaltake HR-03 GT silent cooler. The wrap around nature of the cooler allow me to finally use my PCI slot without a riser card. Although it seems to be performing well (it hasn't fried the card yet), I'd like to make sure it is keeping my 4850 cool.

Former setup
Motherboard: SAM460ex lite @1017 MHz with 1 GB DDR2 SODIMM
PCIe: Radeon HD4850 @625 MHz with 512 MB DDR3 @993 MHz
PCI: ARC1-152-C7 riser card
Riser: sil0680 card with 40 GB HD
OS: 4.1 Update 6

Linux,Debian Jessie,has a sensor viewer that shows the temperature of a Radeon graphics card on Sams. dont think that there is anything under AmigaOS 4.x . I am getting between 34C and 38C with a Radeon HD6670 .

Edit;
There is also a tool called psensor that works under Lubuntu .

GPU temperature sensing is not currently supported under AmigaOS.
Another option might be an automatic fan controller. Many have a small temp sensor to control the speed of each fan.
It's not as accurate as the internal temp sensor, but it's off-the shelf, and it has the additional feature of slowing your fans down when full speed is not needed.

I am interested in adding GPU temperature monitoring to X1kTemp docky when/if there was a way to access this information.

@abalaban

If not X1ktempdocky, perhaps Ranger would be a good program to monitor cpu/gpu/fan speeds? Of course ssolie would have to find free time to add such features.

I'd also like to see the power management features of these GPUs implemented.

@interrogative
This would have to b e supported by the RadeonHD driver first. If you just nned to make sure your cooler is working ok and not constantly monitor it then Linux is your friend for now .

@Rob
The author of the Radeon drivers recently said in another forum:

"On AmigaOS the graphics card is set to max clock speeds + the voltages required to run at those speeds."

"While I would definitely like to add dynamic power management, they have made it very complicated to program. I don't see that happening any time soon."

Edit: I see Spectre660 beat me to it. :)

@thread

I decided to mount the HR-03 on my less heat intensive 4830 card. The 4850 is now for sale. I may even throw in the riser card if a SAM460 owner buys it.
