Hi!

I've got a very weird problem... I've got an Asus EAX800XT-PE. When reading
the temperatures using ATITool and/or Everest Pro, they inform me that my
GPU idles around 51 and the GfxRam around 41. Under heavy load the GPU rises
to around 57-60 and the RAM about the same.
BUT... When I start up Asus SmartDoctor the temperature drops from 51/41
(GPU/RAM) and to 41/41 (idle). It does not happen over a few minutes - but
over half a second. Now the load temperature on the GPU rises to about 68
and the RAM to about 58.

The fan speed does not change so I don't think it is a matter of fan-control
profiles (which SmartDoctor provides).

Does anyone have any clue what is going on - or have similar experiences?
Which temps should I rely on?

This really makes my poor brain explode ;-)

TIA
