    Is it possible to read the temp on the GPU without using an external physical temp probe?? I.e. something like Mobo monitor?? Ive got a 9800p

    No real reason - just curious to see what load im putting it under! :D

    Only nVidia cards have build in thermometers.

    Cards above an ATi 9800 XT have built in probes, it's been known that you can fit them yourself if you run an LCD that supports probes.

    Depends on the core of your card, if its an r360 then it does have a probe, if its an r350 then it doesn't, you would need to remove hsf to find out.

    Then flash to xt to use probe.

    Not all R360's have the temperature probe, your 9800 Pro needs to have the XT PCB to have the probe.

    Yup. It's a feature of all the XT cards (9600, 9800, X800) that they have temperature monitoring, not even the X800Pro does unless you can flash it to XT.
