Your going to have a great time when you have a real hardware problem and have to deal with the CS(or lack of) other companies provide. You just returned a product from the company known for some of the best CS in the industry over a trivial, ridiculous complaint. You would have not seen a single reply from company reps elsewhere.

ROFL @ returning the card because the software doesn't support F readings. 

Good luck with MSI or whatever. Oh and enjoy Afterburner and it's F readings. Oh wait.. 

 
Not only Afterburner, also GPU Tweak from Asus is also Celsius-only. But if somebody really needs °F to be happy, so why not using...drum roll.... GPU Caps Viewer :-) http://www.geeks3d.com/20120927/gpu-caps-viewer-1-17-2-released/
That tool has also a lot more than only monitoring, there you get some more tools to test. Ok, it does not look soooooo cool like Precision/GPU Tweak/Afterburner/Trixx, but if for you needing of °F is more important than the look, than it's good solution :-)

You don't have to know the conversion math, you just need references and go from there.  I've been working with metric for more than the last ten years, but I can't tell you offhand what 30 Celsius is in Fahrenheit without the math.  But that doesn't matter as all I'd need to know are my room air average, my processor temps, the average for everyone else, and the upper limit max allowed-- unit of measurement doesn't matter whether Kelvin, Rankine, Fahrenheit, or Celsius.
 
If you were an engineer or technician that deal with equations and formulas, yes the math is a pain; but you're just reading values against what is expected, so the conversion math doesn't play a role at all.  Just get a reference and go with it.

Darn foreign measurements,
If you want a neat little program check this out. It is called convert.exe
It's free and handy for all kinds of uses, including computers.

So as far as I can tell, EVGA won't update their program for one or more of the following reasons: 

1. Too lazy. It is much easier to deflect the requests by saying Celsius is the "Industry Standard".
2. Too cheap. It is much cheaper to deflect the requests by saying Celsius is the "Industry Standard".
3. They don't care about their customers. Once you've purchased and installed your graphics card from them, they know that you are unlikely to return it. The touted EVGA Precision X information program has already done its job as far as EVGA is concerned. Who at EVGA cares if it actually works?

I wish I'd bought my GEFORCE GTX 660 from someone else. Guaranteed I'll not buy another EVGA product.

I ONLY buy EVGA graphics cards.  I've had to return one...once.  It started artifacting a couple years after I bought it, used it daily for gaming.  Process was simple, straightforward and relatively painless due to employees at EVGA who DO care.
 
You can't expect us to believe you're not going to buy another EVGA card simply because it doesn't display temps in Fahrenheit, can you?  It's so simple YOU can convert it yourself if it's that detrimental to your well being!  I absolutely agree with the 'excuse' you were given, that some confusion may ensue if EVGA implemented 2 temperature scales in their monitoring program.  Given the lack of comprehension by more than a few (as witnessed in forums of any and all topics) people, they would see a number and disregard the following letter, thus incorrectly diagnosing a problem or creating one where there isn't.  
 
It's your loss, and a tiny bit on EVGA's part...as they lose a customer.  Hopefully, you'll rethink your decision and come back to one of, if not THE best graphics card companies currently in business.

Wait what's the conversion rate from C to F anyway?
 
Reason I'm even bothering to post: I don't understand the problem. At first I hated metric system because I didn't know every other country uses it, but, I learned shortly after that America is the only one that uses imperial, now I hate it. Although it is funny when I tell my friend in Germany it's 90 outside and he asks how I am still alive. LOL.

Alright, that's it, I'm going to return my vid cards too until all of these scales are implemented:
-Fahrenheit
-Rankine
-Delisle
-Réaumur
-Rømer, and
-Kelvin
Furthermore, I will not watch any weather forecasts because I'm really used to seeing the weather in Rømer degrees. What's wrong with this world discriminating the Rømer scale, huh?
 
p.s.: Sorry, couldn't resist

Is this serious? If you are honestly this dull to not be able to recognize temperatures in celsius and are making such a fuss over an INDUSTRY STANDARD, you need to re-evaluate your thought process. 
 
Honestly, how hard is it to take your celsius value, input it to google, and then find out the Fahrenheit value? If you're claiming it is such an easy thing to do, why not do it yourself? 

If you run Windows 7 there are a couple neat free gadgets you can download that allow you to monitor your video card temperatures, fan speeds, voltages, clocks, etc. You can't change anything with them- only monitor things. They do show temperature in either F or C and every other measurable aspect of the board(s) can be selected/deselected for monitoring by simple check boxes. They display in a small window you can choose to keep on top of whatever you have open. You can have multiple installs if you have 2 or 3 video cards and they allow you to assign numbers to multiple cards so you know which is which. I have a pair of GTX 580s and always have the monitors open and where I can see them even though I use Precision X to adjust my fan speeds and other settings.   
 
I'm old as dirt and way older than most gamers being 60 and while I do get the metric system from having spent 30+ years as an industrial electronics tech, I just can't quite intuitively nail Celsius down to where I can glance at it and 'know' what it means other than 100 is boiling temp of water (212 F if I remember right) and freezing is 0 (32F). My millis, micros, nanos, picos, kilos, megas and up the scale are a piece of cake but for some reason, temperature never took with me. (If you think about it, the US money system is 'metric' based on 10s) Tech people seem to easily forget not everybody is technically minded nor necessarily wants to be and that when people are used to using a particular system of measurement their entire lives and that system is the norm for them they are resistant to learning something different. It doesn't make them bad or stupid, just comfortable with what they are used to.
 
Enter 'GPU monitoring gadgets' into Google or similar search and go from there. There are not that many. The ones I use are called GPU Observer by Orbmu2K. They are free but he/she/they accept donations thru PayPal. (I have no affiliation with the product or people who made it) Hope this helps.

To be honest I would be damn pissed if EVGAPX was In Fahrenheit only IF the standard was Celsius.  

I think most people would like to have the option between the two.

MSI Afterburner is made by the same developer as Precision X and both use Celsius as the standard.

But the problem that comes with that is you get the stubborn and/or uneducated people using the Fahrenheit readings coming on to forums or contacting support with things like "My computer keeps shutting down when my GPU temps reach 160 Degrees". So everyone responds with "OMG! 160 degres!? Dude, your graphics card is way over heating". When in reality it's not because that's just barely over 70c, which is a safe temp.

Industry "Standards" exist so that EVERYONE uses them. It prevents mistakes and confusion. There is no reason at all why the OP, or anyone else, needs their monitoring software to display in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. The safe temps listed for the card by the manufacturer will ALWAYS be listed in Celsius. So monitoring the temps in Fahrenheit is more harmful than helpful.

The OP has been given alternative options to use and it's been confirmed that EVGA Precision will not be changed. So it's probably time this thread got closed.

Nothing wrong with giving the end-user the option to choose between the two. On the mobo display i could see sticking with Celsius only due to only being able to display 2 numbers. Allowing people to view it in Fahrenheit wouldn't cause the world to end.  

It would cause my world to end. Who would want to live in such a chaotic world of confusion? Every day having to google temperature conversions and ask for clarifications.

Trolling has become a more subtle art on the EVGA forums as of late. This is of the same vein as the guy that supposedly tried to put a 2011 socket CPU into a 1150 mobo. They're all fictitious issues that have just enough truth in them not to be ignored yet work to waste everyone's time involved.

Good call. If the OP is in fact this unintelligent and lazy, I fear for our future. (He must be American like me)
 
I also hate the "standard" system. Who wants to do fractions while looking for sockets when you can just see what number is bigger/smaller. Don't even get me started on miles and feet....

So the answer is EVGA hardwired the skin so nobody can change it. Nice job! Had your tech support people told me this, it would have saved a LOT of time and acrimony. But they are too indoctrinated to say, "Industry Standard", "Industry Standard", "Industry Standard".  At least I got an answer....finally.

It is interesting to note that the nvidia GPU gadget DOES allow the change from C to F. Wonder why? Are ALL the nvidia gadget users left totally confused and unable to say 91 degrees Fahrenheit? What a joke. I mean, I understand that the EVGA hard-wired skin is a major problem, but continuing to say that a Fahrenheit setting would confuse the customers is just plain asinine.

Mox nix, I am returning the EVGA GTX 660 to Amazon. After the sound beating I received for suggesting
what should have been a minor change, I won't be buying EVGA products in the foreseeable future.

Like, never.  One can have a shining 18 carat diamond, but if it is covered in fecal matter, what good is it?

Be sure to be honest in the reason for your return, that way Amazon makes you pay for the return shipping. As you reason for the return is not a valid one under Amazon's return policy. The entire PC world operates using celsius as the standard. If you can't, or I should say if you won't, handle that, please take your refund and buy a console. Just because Jacob gave you an answer that satisfied your absurd demands does not mean the people you spoke to on the phone today are as familiar with the Precision software as Jacob is. I spent over a decade in the customer service industry, and you are a perfect example of the worst type of customer possible. Someone who beats and berates employees when they can't answer questions to your satisfaction or live up to your ridiculous demands.

You had no right to call the customer service number in the first place with your question, that's not the sort of question that you should be wasting those employee's time with. The people who answer those phones are there to handle real problems. Your non issue got the answer you wanted from the only place you should have asked the question in the first place, the forums.

So please, return the card to Amazon, and again make sure you don't lie and claim you're returning it because it's defective or something, and never again buy PC hardware. I think it's a safe bet to say that the billions of people that make up the PC community around the world don't want someone like you as a member.

That hasn't been true for a few years now. Ever since Precision stopped supporting RivaTuner, because the guy who developes RivaTuner was trying to extort money in order to update his program to support DX12. When they parted ways, the developer of RivaTuner threatened to sue EVGA for using his open source code without his permission when EVGA tried to update it for DX12 on their own. So they recoded Precision from scratch, and it's not nearly as good unfortunately.
