With nvidia driver, you have to use nvidia-smi utility to get that

I been having . . . issues with the new rig.  I wasn't able to dig into
this sensor issue so much.  Now that I got it working pretty well, I
fired up gkrellm.  It is my go to monitor app.  The temp for the video
card show up there and gkrellm refers to it as GPU.  So, they exist
somewhere.  I might add, it has been on my main rig for ages which also
uses Nvidia drivers.  The AUXTIN4 matches the temp of the GPU temp on
gkrellm but a google search shows it is the power supply temp.  I'm
digging around but have no idea where gkrellm is getting the temps
from.  They somewhere, gkrellm found them but I have no idea where that
is, yet.  As long as gkrellm works, and my screen works right, I can use
gkrellm to monitor things. 

Still kinda curious tho.

AUXTIN is some reading off the MoBo.  It could be what the PCIe picks up, 
potentially fed to it by the graphics card.

Not all AUXTIN readings are valid.  The MoBo may have the provision, but no 
sensor or component is actually installed in this model.

I have 4 AUXTIN readings on a MoBo here, but I wouldn't be able to tell you 
something real is even connected to them:

AUXTIN0:               +103.5°C    sensor = thermistor
AUXTIN1:               +104.0°C    sensor = thermistor
AUXTIN2:               +105.0°C    sensor = thermistor
AUXTIN3:               +105.0°C    sensor = thermistor


Sometimes figuring out what sensor is what is tough.  I used to start a compile of gcc to find out which one was the CPU.  Which ever one went up pretty good, CPU.  Works for fans too.  Which ever fan spins up first, most likely the CPU.  I have several that either show very high temps or very low, a couple would make my deep freezer proud.  I suspect there is no sensor for those since they never change.  Even some of the searches turn up different info for the same sensor.  Each mobo is slightly different I guess.  Just have to figure it out. 

At least gkrellm works.  About the only time my GPU will have any load on it is when I'm logged into KDE anyway.  I can check gkrellm to find out if it is staying cool or not.  I might add tho, this case, despite not having a side fan, is pretty cool even when compiling.  I put a fan on top that moves a lot of air and I can feel it blowing a lot more than the OEM fans.  That pulls heat out very well.  The front fans do well too.  I put one high flow fan on the bottom front and the other two front fans are OEM.  The OEM fans don't blow as much so I stuck them in places where less air movement is not a problem.  The CPU runs a fair bit cooler now.  It tends to max out in the upper 170F area.  Of course that m.2 stick runs really cool with that cute cooler on it.  I think it maxes out at around 105F or something. 

If the monitor stand comes in tomorrow and FedEx delivers the monitor, I'm gonna have a busy day, or night.  I suspect tho the stand will get stuck at the State USPS hub, like most packages usually do.  I'm gonna hope tho.  They have improved recently, a little bit anyway.
