Sent you a report. Attached it here as well.

You don't have GFX under configuration/temperatures?
I had to turn it on for my card.

GFX ? Not sure what you mean. Searched the issues for GFX, do you mean the /NONNVIDIAI2C switch ? If not, how do I turn on GFX ? Went to Configuration Temperatures and there is nothing there. Running Speefan.exe without any switches. Will try this switch (although I thought 4.27 resolved the need for this).

/NONVIDIAI2C doesn't show anything differently. Are there some drivers/utils that should not be loaded ? ie. NTune, etc. BIOS/Driver setting somewhere ?

Maybe GFX was added by a configuration file I downloaded.
If it was then it doesn't apply to you.

I have 5 temperatures under configuration/temperatures: 3 reported by an IT8712F chip (CPU, chipset, mainboard), graphics reported by ACPI, hard drive reported by SMART.

Maybe your mainboard doesn't report the graphics temperature by ACPI or maybe you have to turn something on in your BIOS. I have no idea. Hopefully someone else knows.

I looked at the report and it is meaningless to me. :-)
You do have an ADT7463 and IT8712F which are both sensors.

I do wonder why it says nForce2 and nForce4:
ADT7463 on nForce2 SMBus
Chipset : nVidia nForce4

Bjlockie, I have some of the same questions myself. The Readings tab shows a mix of nForce2 and nForce4 entries. The Info tab shows the chipset as nForce4. I think this is just semantics though. There are 4 sensors, IT8712F (NBr, Pwr Light, HD Fans), ADT7463 (CPU Fan1, Unused, CPU Fan2), LM75, and ACPI (System Temp). Nothing indicating GPU temps. NVRaided WD Raptors (3 of them) show no SMART info (this seems to be the norm. Non raided drives are fine. Raided kills the SMART info).

It probably is semantics as to why it says NForce4 in one place and NForce2 in another. It the single video card in the correct PCIe slot? The computer may work either way but maybe it matters to detect the temp.

Maybe try the beta of SF too.

Does AsusProbe detect the temp.?

Maybe it is the 7800GT.
Someone has reported the same thing with a non-Asus card with that NVidia chipset.

ASUS Probe doesn't show a temp for my gfx card but SF does.
Try NVtemplogger
http://www.savefile.com/projects.php?pid=638042
But apparently my card is not capable of temp. monitoring.
I wonder how SF does it? :-)

I have doubts about my own MSI card now so I am asking on an nvidia forum (nvnews.net) and if it supposed to report temp, I will ask MSI.

Is there a temperature settings tab in the nvidia control panel?

This is for my 6600 but it may apply to other cards.
I would ask Asus support if they have disabled the temp. sensor in your card.

I flashed the BIOS on my NVidia card and I can see the temp. in the NVidia software but that number does not correspond to what I thought SF thought was my graphic card and the NV number does not correspond to ANY of the SF numbers.

Give me a second to catch up here ....
NVMonitor, as well as the Advanced Properties page for the NVidia (or ASus supplied) all show temps for both GPUs. If you run the Asus SmartDoctor (for this to work, you need to install the Asus Enhanced Driver), it'll only let you do clock and mem speeds.
Notes in the help file show "NOTE: For graphics card models without a monitor IC, ASUS SmartDoctor provides only the overclocking function."
I will look at some of the things you mentioned and report back. Interesting notes about your 6600GT, this is what I have at home.

The link you sent for 6600 temp fix, elludes to where the temp is coming from. "sensors built in the core". The screen shots look identical to the temp readings I get for the two EN7800GT. So, it's very possible that this card does NOT have a monitoring IC whatsoever.
Can SF still display the temps of the GPUs ? Atleast this way, you can tie a fan to the reading and have it ramp up and down when needed/not needed. It would be nice to control the fans on the card, can't see how that's possible though without a monitoring IC. Plus it's a 2-wire fan, so I'm guessing the voltage to the fan would need to be controlled. (just my 2 cents)

I took one these EN7800GT cards home to try in my SN25P. Interesting thing to note is that the fan immediately slowed down during post process. It ramps up when you get into 3D mode. Won't go back down until you restart windows.
This particular board is an nForce4 MCP (non SLI), where as the SN26P has SLI.
Also found that the SN26P at windows desktop (nothing 3D running) is running in 3D mode, always. This does not happen on the SN25P. This might explain what is going on. (BTW, video card is near silent once it ramps down the fan.)

Any ideas ??
