Default Old CCC v10.12 have temperature readings for a very old ATI AIW 9600 video card?

PC's video card is getting too hot under heavy 3D screen usage since
it keeps corrupting my HDD data (already did a chkdsk and Memtest86+
and no problems). I can't find CCC's sensor readings like I see in
my home's XP Pro. SP3 PC. Does this video card not have one?


Whether it has one - and whether it's addressable - completely
depend on the OEM. If it's an ATI genuine then it *should* have
one... Maybe find an old copy of Aida and see if it tells you. Oh,
wait.. If it's got one GPU-Z will probably find it! Just pick stand
alone version' rather than 'install' the first time you double-click
it.

Its sensors tab only showed two GPU clocks (Core and Memory). From
what I was told in other ATI/AMD forums, this ancient video card
doesn't have any temperature sensors.




Oh well - I tried. :-/
