I want to replace my Asus GeForce 9600GT's (SLI), stock coolers for dedicated GPU Coolers.
I have decided on the Coolink GFXChilla's, reviews are good, it's low profile, will only take up 2 expansion slots (each card) on my Asus P5N-D Mobo which is ideal for me as I can still use the bottom PCI slot into which my TV card sits. Another deciding factor is that...I believe?...I can run the fans via a controller for better overall management.
My question are...1. Will replacing the stock cooler affect the onboard GPU temp sensors?...2. Will I still be able use the card manufacturers on-board temp sensors & monitoring utility to measure the GPU temps?
As well as GPU-Z and SpeedFan I use the Asus dedicated utilities (Asus SmartDoctor) to monitor the cards temps and I would like to continue using this after the upgrade as I am familiar with it.
I don't know how temp sensors work on a GPU or how they are built into a graphics card? So any info to enlighten me on this will be great!
