Check your system with RivaTuner

[Serial Thrilla]

Hello Community!

I was writting this because my Mother Board die sometimes because of overheating.
So i started to use Software and now i prefer Rivatuner for things like this.

Rivatuner:http://downloads.guru3d.com/RivaTuner-v2...d-163.html
RealTemp Plugin For Rivatuner:http://downloads.guru3d.com/RealTemp-plu...d2169.html

First start Rivatuner and go to Launcher tab as shown in Screen1



Then add a regular module activation item as shown in Screen 2



Then select Low Level Module and Hardware Monitoring as shown in Screen 3



then go to Scheduler tab as shown in screen 4



then schedule the monitoring task to run at Rivatuner startup as shown in Screen 5



Use your designated hotkey to start the monitoring module as shown in Screen 6



You can either leave the monitoring windows open or enable background monitoring when playing your game.
To enable background monitoring click on the red dot as shown in Screen 7



Next,click on setup in monitoring module window a new window will pop-up as shown in Screen 8



As you can see from Screenshot 8 that I have enabled Framerate,Core Temperature for GPU,Video Memory Usage and Physical Memory usage. I have also enabled CPU monitoring features on the bottom which you can't see from Screen 8.

On to the next step.......We now have to click to plugins window as shown in Screen 9



As you see in Screen 9 I have enable the CPU and two other plugins but you are free to add more plugins if you wish.
If you want to see CPU temp please install RealTemp plugin then enable it in this plugin window.

After adding all your wanted plugins... go back to Hardware Monitoring setup window and enable you desired source or whatever you call it by ticking it... after that you click on that data source and click setup and a new windows will pop-up as shown in Screen 10

Once in data source setup tick Show "source name" in on-screen display as shown in Screen 10 and repeat this for other data sources as well.

After that we must enable the RTSS server and to make it start we can start the server and click on Run on windows startup or Schedule the server to run at rivatuner startup as shown in Screen 11

Two of your images don't work and we have no idea of what this is supposed to do exactly. And people, if you download this, first scan it with an antivirus.

Guru3D is a Driver provider so there is no need to scan it with antivirus software. I also posted this on ZemHost and it seems to help. My motherboard is not diying.

Yes you should always scan files before you install them. They don't garantee anything about the downloads.

WOT gives enough proof that the site is safe. There's no need to scan it with an antivirus software. Well, at least I won't.

Well, just scan it and don't be stupid because you think a website provides safe downloads because it even happens that the biggest company's suddenly are distributing a virus on accident.
