How to Monitor Your Nvidia GPU and CPU Temperatures

As a computer user, it's essential to keep an eye on your system's temperatures, especially when using powerful components like NVIDIA GPUs. In this article, we'll explore how to monitor both your Nvidia GPU and CPU temperatures.

To begin with, you need to have the lm-sensors package installed in your system. You can do so by running the command `sudo apt install lm-sensors`. After successful installation, run `sudo sensors-detect` to detect all the sensors installed in your system.

Once you've detected all the sensors, you can proceed to check the temperature of your video card. The product name and capabilities of your video card are displayed as follows:

Product: WhiskeyLake-U GT2

Capabilities: pciexpress msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom fb

Configuration: depth=32 driver=i915 latency=0 resolution=1920,1080

You can also use the `lshw` command to gather more information about your video card. Run `sudo lshw -C display` to get detailed output. The output displays the PCI address, type, manufacturer, and marketing name of the VGA controller.

Alternatively, you can use the `grep` command to search for the video card details in the output. Run `lspci | grep VGA` to view the video card details. The `lspci` tool displays all the PCI devices on your system, and you can look for an output line with VGA to know about the video card details.

By running the command `lspci`, you can view the video card details in your system:

0:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Coffee Lake HOST and DRAM Controller (rev 0b)

0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation WhiskeyLake-U GT2

0:04.0 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor Thermal Subsystem (rev 0b)

0:08.0 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/v6 / E3-1500 v5 / 6th/7th/8th Gen Core Processor Gaussian Mixture Model

In this article, we've learned how to monitor the temperature of your Nvidia GPU and CPU using various commands. By following these steps, you can ensure that your system is running smoothly and efficiently.
