    I'm getting ready to run a battery of tests on the m11x r3 and the typical program i use to monitor temps is not showing the gpu. Hwmonitor.

    Anyone else encounter this error? whats another good program to pick up the temps? I know people mention evga afterburner for overclocking which i will look into tomorrow, does it have the temps built in as a feature?

    I don't use HWmonitor, but use HWiNFO32. It doesn't "see" the temperature of the GPU because it is turned off. So here is a tip (in case you haven't done so already): run your temperature measuring program while the GPU is being utilized, not before or after. I turn on HWiNFO32 when I know the GPU is being used and then I can see the temps, otherwise, they don't show up.
