RivaTuner for example.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

It doesn't seem like it works well with ATI cards. All I can get out of it is core and memory clockspeed monitoring.

Try SpeedFan 4.50 (Last compatible version with win9x). If the GPU has a tempmonitor it will pick it up.

Some manufacturers provided utilities for their cards as well.

I have been testing both radeon 9700 pro and radeon x800 pro and it would be nice to know how well their stock coolers are still doing their job.

I don't think either of those cards have built-in sensor, i might be wrong though. Quick google on it does not support that they have sensors, at least not on the 9700 Pro.

Leave the side panel off and use the ole finger test. If the heatasink burns your finger while it isnt under heavy load, ya usually got a problem.

If heat is not transferring well to the heatsink for some reason, the finger test might not be good enough 😜
