Yeah - same here.
I think it has to do with the type of sensor on the card.
I use getthermal to monitor my GPU temp because I have not found any other app that reads the temp on a generation 1 Go6800
If the motherboard has to be replaced you are looking at almost 50% cost of a new system. I have the generation 1 7700's and had this confirmed by AW. Things may have changed but when I asked around 3 or 4 months ago this was the case....
Yes I have gethermal - I use it to monitor temps mainly and occasionally set fans to max for a short while. I like it because
- it shows GPU and CPU temps
- you can set fans to any % of maximum , not just 100% as per the Fn keys

I can send it to you if you PM me your email address. You can't download it from anywhere anymore as it was never an offical app but something used by Sager techs internally
The fans can be set on high using a keystroke combination (Fn + one of the F keys .. don't remember which sorry) but you need a certain BIOS level to do that. I would check the AW BIOS updates page which will tell you what version you...
