Last GeForce driver version with temperature monitoring and alert?

Hi All,

I realize that there's no more temperature monitoring in the classic
NVIDIA Control Panel. But I remember I had it last year (but I have
reinstalled and upgraded several times since then).

Does anybody knows which was the last version to have it ?

TIA.

The classic Control Panel has been missing for some time in XP. What
version of Windows are you using?

This would help for your answer.

Well, the question wasn't about the design of the C.P. And despite the
fact that I have blindly upgraded during the past years, the classic
C.P. is still there (XPSP2). But it may be because I use the following
..reg tweak:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; NVIDIA Windows 2000/XP Display Coolbits file
; Copyright (c) NVIDIA Corporation. All rights reserved.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies]
"ContextUIPolicy"=dword:00000003
"TaskbarUIPolicy"=dword:00000002
"CplGroupUIPolicy"=dword:00000002
"SedonaDisable"=dword:00000002

The temperature monitoring and alert was in both C.P. until they removed
it. My question is (when and) in which version.

TIA.

The Cool Bits "reg" patch is also quite old. It seem that nVidia has
stripped out the older Control Panel controls that the CB it looking
for.

You might want to consider looking at RivaTuner and re-post you
question in the web forums of www.guru3d.com.

I really don't know what each line is supposed to do but after applying
this file in registry, I can switch to the classic CP, even now with
driver 182.08_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql

Thank you for your advice and quick replies. In the meantime I think
I've found the answer to my initial question:

94.24

I'll check it soon (I'm no more a gamer and I'm trying to find a
driver/renderer that doesn't produce tearing at 24p on my second monitor).

very useful information regards NVIDIA SLI Patch For Any Motherboardv .
