Request: GPU Memory Junction Temperature via nvidia-smi or NVML API

Does it read memory junction temp? If not, it’s Off Topic related to this feature request. NVIDIA, help us with this, as it has a great influence on keeping our VALUABLE cards healthy.

What can we else do in order to get the attention of Nvidia? This thread isnt helping much… unfortunately. The wanted feature is extremely important for the cards and their functionality/safety!

+1 Please get this feature asap! The memory temps don’t always correlate with core temps very well which is a massive pain, I want to prolong the cards life as much as possible

We need this! Can’t monitor them on HiveOS!

Coming up on 2 months and still no response. What’s the word Nvidia? Your customers are getting pretty irritated.

Paging doctor NVIDIA. Nvidia urgently needed on ER.

Seriously: I do not understand why you provide readings from such an important sensor under Windows, when it is enough to change the system so that applications cannot react to high temperature in any way. If I hadn’t installed Windows for fun, I wouldn’t have found out that my GeForce had 110C for anything.

Hello, someone from Nvidia here? that should not be SO difficult.

By working as a software developer I can see how this functionality isn’t a top priority for NVIDIA because it wouldn’t make them money (you already bought the cards) and because it’s not a security flaw. Although, as a software developer, I really can’t see why it would take so long to add the VRAM temps to the NVIDIA Linux APIs. The temps should be there, but they’re just not sent to the user. Or maybe they didn’t ever implement the whole VRAM sensors monitoring on Linux and idk how much that would take. I just want to remind people that money comes first (return of investment), but I too desperately need this functionality. @wpierce it would be very nice for us to get another update on the matter, so could you, please? Is it at least in the sprint?

A new stable driver was just released. Hopefully this functionality will be included in the next development cycle!

Yes, please implement this ASAP Nvidia, there are a lot of people needing it pretty much right away due to extremely high VRAM temps. Thanks in advance for a quick implementation!

Still nothing apparently…

How could it be that it is impossible to perform this monitoring which is critical to maintaining the system? Deep learning researchers like me (non-commercial) spend their own money on insanely expensive hardware only to find out that there is no way to safely use that hardware. I would feel a lot better about the situation if NVIDIA would be more concrete about when the fix will be coming, or at least reply to this thread more than once every 3 months.

Hoping this feature comes soon. Using my GPU to boil water until then.

Hello Nvidia is anyone there ?!?!?!?
Are you so busy counting dollar bills that you can’t get to work on this simple request ??
Or you just don’t want people to find out that you and other AIB’s used the most absolute garbage 3 W/mK thermal pads for a component that reaches 110 C with ease on a 1500 $ (that sold for 2000-3000$ in the last months) flagship product ??

Helloooooo ???
Any update on this please.

I’m finding it more and more difficult to believe that this has been a “priority” for going on two months, now.

Then again, he just mentioned it was “assigned a priority”, not that it was a high priority. I could just as easily “assign a priority” to getting kicked in the junk.

i registered after a few month following this thread.

my only question is “when NVIDIA?” i bet a bunch of people finding this topic by searching on google… and a lot of them dont register.

Take 2 minutes of your time, register and write something, more voices expressing the need for this feature would go a long way.
