Catalyst VS ATItool temps...which is right?

Guttboy · Dec 26, 2006

Hi Everyone,

Well I am pretty new to OC'ing and am using ATI tool to OC my ATI Radeon 9800XT video card.

Here is my dilemna...what temp is right?????

When I start the Catalyst Control Center and look at the overdrive tab it says my GPU is at 61-63 degrees Celsius.

In ATI tool....it reads at 39-42 degrees Celsius.

Any thoughts....CCC version is 6.12 and ATI is 0.26.

Thanks for the help!

I doubt that CCC is wrong...
I think its the difference in update rate.
This happens right after running 3D.
The temp of one is updated while the other haven't.

you can change ATITOOL to every 1sec. in setting on Temp. Monitoring

Been doing some looking and even when I just immediately start the computer the CCC value is still that high....I cant believe that it is so high I think something may be incorrect...dont really know.

touch the heatsink. if its moderatly warm it will be atitool, if its rather warm it will be ccc.

Thanks Kenny....I found an old post from Wizzard that explained that ATI add's 20C to the CCC. Thanks!
