Greetings,
I have an HIS X1550 card with 512mb memory. It works well and I have all the updated drivers/catalyst suite. However when I mouse over the ATI icon in system tray the temp always reads at 0 degrees. No way, I play EVE online for hours at a time and the card feels hot. Did I miss somethign when I installed the card? Please help as I like this card and dont want it to die. Thank you.

The X1550 card may not have a temp sensor. Afaik, only modern cards (Nvidia 8 sereis onwards and Ati 2xxx onwards) have on board temp sensors.
