Does my ATI card support temperature monitoring?

W1zzard · 06-06-2004, 08:43 PM

For temperature monitoring to work your card must have the LM63 monitoring chip.

All Radeon X800 boards support temperature monitoring. On the X800 series the LM63 chip is located here:

On the Radeon X800 Non-Pro/XL/X850 the LM63 chip is located here:

On the Sapphire 9600XT Fireblade Edition the LM63 chip is located here:

On the Radeon 9800XT or 9800 Pro with XT PCB the LM63 chip is located here:

ASUS uses a Fintek F75373S sensor chip instead of the LM63. On the A9600XT the chip is located here:

On the Radeon X700 the LM63 chip is located here:

On the Radeon X1300 the LM63 chip is located here:

Cool. Does anyone know where the 9800XT external temperature measurement component is located? ATiTool gives me 2 temperature readings, remote (gpu), and local (temp. chip).

W1zzard · 08-25-2004, 09:00 PM

the 4th image shows the location of the temp chip on 9800 xt .. thats where the local temp is measured

nanobug · 08-28-2004, 02:24 AM

Thanks for the reply, W1zzard. I was wondering where the thermistor (?) was located though, if it does indeed use one. I guess if so it'd be one of the components close by somewhere.. I'll investigate with the freezer spray sometime..

I'm not too confident of the accuracy of that sensor at the moment, so, I might get around to either raising it up on legs to directly contact the heatsink, or maybe solder a small lead there with the component, or alternative sensor, on the end (so I can stick it wherever I want, say, on the upcoming GPU waterblock.

)

Cheers.

W1zzard · 08-28-2004, 10:50 AM

the "thermistor" for gpu is inside the core (or under the core on 9800) .. the thermistor for the temp chip is inside the chip .. so no way to do move them

nice fotos

Ah, inside the chip

cheers for the info W1zzard.

Does atitool support fan and temp monitoring on my sapphire aiw 9800 pro 128mb?

zealot`grr · 09-06-2004, 04:41 PM

thegrayson - try to locate the "LM63" chip

it might work...

09-11-2004, 04:18 PM

what about Hercules Radeon 9700 NonPro. Cause in AtiTool i dont see the temp readings, so i am trying to find out if it is a software issue or just that i dont have the damn termistor on my card ..

W1zzard · 09-11-2004, 05:57 PM

9700's dont support temp. monitoring

ati.bob · 09-17-2004, 06:21 PM

How about Sapphire's Radeon 9550 card?

W1zzard · 09-17-2004, 08:23 PM

most probably not .. if it has the 9600xt layout it might

ati.bob · 09-19-2004, 02:24 PM

How can I check that? I got a Sapphire Radeon 9550 128bit/128MB card...

09-23-2004, 03:12 AM

Hi , W1zzard :
F75373S is not a Winbond product , it's Fintek's.

W1zzard · 09-23-2004, 11:04 AM

do you have any info on the chip? all i could find was a taiwanese website with no english pages .. any contact addresses there?

10-26-2004, 10:01 AM

Hello,

I am a happy owner of an ATI 9800SE AIW from Sapphire and I would like to know if my card support temperature measurement.

I have already try the ATITOOL but no temperature device was detected.

I have then read your article with a lot of interest and find some LM63 device but I can't find the correct foot print on my card.

Thanks by advance for your help.

W1zzard · 10-26-2004, 10:06 AM

9800se aiw does not support temp. monitoring ..

10-26-2004, 10:54 AM

What's a shame ! I feel a bit stupid with my LM63 in my hands now !

Do you think that there is some solution to connect the LM63 on the board even without the correct foot print? I mean by soldering wires at the correct place ?
If my analyses is good we need to find the 3V3 power supply, the serial bus an the external tests point of the Internal GPU diode.

What do you think about this ?

03-01-2005, 04:11 PM

Hey there! What about Power Color Radeon 9600se (R96LE-C3S)??
Btw: Aren't there any list containing all the models??
Thanks.

03-13-2005, 03:15 AM

Just wondering if anyone knows whether the AIW 9600XT has temperature monitoring. I'd check but I have a vga silencer on my card and I don't feel like taking it off. Thanks.

05-13-2005, 11:29 AM

I have the Sapphire X800 XL 256 VIVO AGP, it has an LM63 chip on it... but I can't seem to find out the temperature in any programs. Have tried:

- My old ATI card had it in the Overclock section, no such section on this card.
- Sapphire's RedLine utility seems to have no mention of temp
- ATITool doesn't recognise and temp monitoring.

Any ideas?

06-18-2005, 08:02 PM

Same here, I just bought an x800XL 256mb agp version and I cant find this god damn temperature reading. Ive looked everywhere. Is it maybe simply dissabled or what?? cause its pissing me off a bit, and id like to know why the pro's and xt's would have it but not the xl....

07-22-2005, 04:53 PM

me too... have got the sapphire radeon ati x800 xl and can't messure the temperature :-(

binormalkilla · 11-03-2006, 09:58 AM

I own a Sapphire X1300XT 512mb card, so according to this thread I have an LM63 chip (diode?) on my card. Also, I am able to monitor the temp. under the Catalyst Contorl Center. I was wondering why I cannot view the temperature under the ATItool. I am running the beta 16 pre5 build, and it runs perfect! Thanks for this great software BTW Wizzard. Also, are there any low-resource usage temp monitoring software to run in the background while you play a game for OC testing purposes? Thanks for the help guys.
