Alot of motherboards come with small temp diodes designed to be place near the CPU core to gain a temp reading for the CPU. You could instead use this to monitor the temp of your video card. I wouldnt worry about a temp reading for a 9600SE they run very cool, alot are actually passively cooled. Touch the HSF and as long as its not too hot to touch then things should be fine. If your really worried about temps then you could rip the HSF off and reapply thermal compound.	Pete O'Neil (6584)
