Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):The latest HWiNFO update has added hotspot temperature monitoring for NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, giving users access to a sensor that wasn’t previously available in popular monitoring tools. The new feature comes just days after reports showed that RTX 50 cards still had a working hotspot sensor, but it could only be accessed using NVIDIA’s internal diagnostic software. In one case, an RTX 5070 Ti appeared to be running at a normal 68°C, while its hidden hotspot temperature had reached 107°C, causing thermal throttling due to poor cooler contact. With the update, RTX 50 owners can now check hotspot temperatures directly in HWiNFO
