Long gone are the days when computers are really soldered to collect from the individual circuit boards.Anyone who is even slightly interested in the device of the modern computer, knows that now he was going out of the blocks, as if out of children's blocks.There computing unit - a microprocessor, a memory - memory block video - the video card.Obviously, the coordinated operation of all components depend on the state of each.Manufacturers use a variety of different technological solutions designed to automate the operation of the computer and allow the user to effectively solve the task, rather than control the parameters of the components.In part, it succeeds, but many still wonder, "how to check the temperature of the video card."Indeed, the excess of the permissible temperature (it is specified by the manufacturer in the technical specifications) reduces the resource and may even cause damage.
video card is a component of the computer (and laptop) that performs several functions:
- convert binary instruction processor control signals to the monitor, forming a visible image;
- work with three-dimensional objects or, more accurately reflects the essence, manipulation of triangles;
- complex mathematical calculations.
heart of the video card is a microprocessor with a high degree of integration of transistors, so the electric power consumption of the newest models of more than 100 watts.Low productivity and low cost graphics are less power, but in this case it is necessary to know how to check the temperature.Graphics cards contain a special heat sensor (sensor), access to opportunities which is carried out by specialized software.Currently, among some producers trend transfer the basic functions of the video card in the CPU.Theoretically, this solution reduces the cost of the set "CPU + graphics card" roughly 1.5-2 times, as well as to relieve the user from having to remember all the time, how to check the temperature of the video card.Promising it?Obviously, gamers will still have to buy a separate video card (not below the middle class), as the processing power of the CPU for a long time ahead of it, even the most advanced CPU, so it depends.The temperature of the video card, as already mentioned, can be determined by software.
First of all, to those users who do not know how to measure the temperature of the video card, you need to download from the World Wide Web a few popular programs for the temperature sensor.Some of them paid, but the evidence properly read.
AIDA64
This program is shareware, ie you can use, but the free version some features are disabled.How to check the temperature of the video card?Very simple!Run the program and follow the path of "Computer - Sensors."For integrated into the processor models adjust to the temperature of the processor, but the external parameter is called "diode GP."
Real Temp
small program that reads the temperature of the processor and graphics card.Additionally specifies limits, which is very convenient.
Built possible driver
For owners of graphics cards from AMD (ATI) must run Catalyst Control Center and select the "Performance".
But for nVidia this feature is displayed in the information window (driver setting).
RivaTuner
wonderful program of national origin.Unfortunately, the latest models are supported is limited.
Normal temperature graphics card - the key to its long-term performance.
