Keep an eye on the test and wait for it to get back to test 1 after it has started. I think there are 14 rr 15 test runs. Once it comes back to 1 after the 1st iteration you can stop. I suggest you run the test on each RAM module seperately. As for your temp sensor... you may have to download a program called RivaTuner to give you a temp reading. You can get it HERE (www.guru3d.com). If that doesn't work then your card may not have a temp sensor but I'm pretty sure it does though. cheers chiefnz |

To find what temp the cards running at you'd do this.Right click the Desktop select Properties,Left on Settings,Left on Advanced,Left on GeForce 6600 or whatever the card is.A white box will hopefully open on your left..Left click on Temperature..There is you current GPU temp.Also have to say that when you run Memtest you don't run it when your doing other thing's.It gets run all on it's lonesome not when your frigging around with other programs on the pc. |
