NVIDIA Blackwell RTX 50 Hotspot and Per-Memory Temperature Monitoring: Here’s Everything Enthusiasts Have Uncovered So Far

Community researchers restored hidden hotspot telemetry on NVIDIA RTX 50 GPUs that NVIDIA had left invisible to monitoring tools.

They also exposed temperature readings for the newest GDDR memory chips, expanding thermal visibility on the cards.

HWMonitor and other tools quickly began adding support, making the new data easier to access.

The findings showed some RTX 50 boards running very hot and, in some cases, hitting thermal throttling.
