8800GT Temperature not displaying with Musashi

[TheMHZ]

Hi everyone,

I just received a Scythe Musashi and installed it on my Asus 8800GT however I can't get it to display my temperature correctly. It always stays 0 degree.

I know this is because I connected the cables to the PSU instead of connecting it onto the Card/Motherboard. However I just Don't get where else I couldn't find any others pins. All pins on the 8800GT we're 2 Pins and not 3. And all Chassis fan slots are taken on my motherboard.

Could anyone give me some advice?

This is how the card looks like. As you can see there are 2 pins on the left & right upper corner.

Thanks in advance.

Hellp TheMHZ,

put Musashi 3-pin on motherboard and it work You don´t need to fit it directly on vga card.

Hi, thanks for your fast reply,
The thing is I already tried that. But speedfan won't show my temperature. And the only place to connecct those it is on the 3 pin chassis fan's.

Hello,

that´s right. On a 4-pin you can´t it read, too. So it´s only feeling or you use a fan controller for example : )

TheMHZ, you are talking about temperature and Oki seems to be talking about rpm of the fan. The temperature diode readout is not influenced by the way you connect the fan to the PSU, the PCB of the card or the PSU. It should work anyway even if no fan is connected.

So TheMHZ didi you really mean the temps or did you mean the rpm like Oki assumed?

Sorry, I was talking about the temperature. But I got it figured out now. The problem is the card itself. Speedfan doesn't recognize it. So I used Rivatuner to measure the temperature. 38 idle/59 stressed 8800GT. I'm a happy man now :P

Thanks for your help guys
