Just got my MSI Nvidia 8600GT OC version today.

Installed NTune for monitoring GPU temps but i am getting this screen when i open the "Nvidia Monitor" application:

So, i can't see the GPU temps as the monitor window is not fully shown and i can't resize it.

Any ideas?

Very good guide by Rahul.
 
thanks a lot bro! Riva Tuner shows the current GPU core temperature. It's 53 at the moment.

How can i see the GPU fan speeds? Speedfan shows the CPU related stuff only.

and any ideas about why i am not able to view the temperatures in NTune?
 
Yes ofcourse you can change the Fan Speed, and the guide mentioned above is the way to change it to your desired speed.
 
hey guyz, i just want to view the fan speeds. don't wanna change it...so:

1) How can i view the current GPU fan speeds?

2) Why is the NTune output window not showing up properly?

If someone can post the proper Ntune output window, it would be useful

Very Simple.... pull off the fan plug from the display card and place it on a fan connector on the MoBo and you can see the fan speeds in all system monitoring programs. I have done this with my 8800GTS :)
