What do I have to do to get GPU-Z to display the sensor info? I have tried it on 3 different Thinkpads ( 2 T60s & a T60p) all with ATI gpu, and a Thinkpad A31, also with ATI, and all that shows up under the 'sensors' tab is 'GPU Core Clock' & GPU Memory Clock'. The Graphics card tab is fully poulated with the correct info.

I think theres a GPUZ sticky somewhere, If i could i would put a link.
Just have a look in the gpu section

Yeah, I've been looking, but haven't found it. Can you tell me the gist of it?

Could you post screenshots of GPU-Z so I know which GPU you have?
This one is from the T60:
This is from the T60p:
This is the sensor tab from the T60 (the T60p is similar):

Ah, those old GPUs don't have temp sensors in the chip, and rely on external circuitry. I guess that for a notebook, the vendor didn't bother with the extra cost for a sensor and assumes CPU temp = GPU temp, which is close enough to avoid overheating.
Does any other software show GPU temps ?

TPfancontrol does, and it seems pretty popular over in the Thinkpad forum. I don't know how it comes up with its temps without sensors. But I did see a few comments about the accuracy, so I wanted something else to compare with. Thanks for the info.

It's probably using the CPU temperature sensor? Or some Lenovo sensor
Found some info here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Thermal_Sensors
Given how old these notebooks are (I replaced my X60s three months ago), I have no plans to implement support for these sensors.
TPfancontrol was originally written for the T4x series, but also seems to be widely used on later models. I don't expect to replace my T60s any time soon, and the same goes for XP, 'tho I have a test system with XP/W7 dual boot setup.
Thanks for the Wiki link. I'll look at it closer later.
