GPU temp in conky

Question

How do mesure gpu temp in conky.

Found this code:

${voffset 7}${goto 40}${voffset -4}Gpu: ${font Droid Sans:style=Bold:size=8}${execi 60 nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp | perl -ne 'print $1 if /GPUCoreTemp.*?: (\d+)./;'}°C${font}${alignr}Motherboard

But this onely gives the result 0 rpm.

so what to do

Solution 1

If your version of Conky has not been installed with --enable-nvidia the easiest syntax would involve the following:

${execi 60 nvidia-settings -query [gpu:0]/GPUCoreTemp -t}°C

This would vary of course if you had more than one GPU installed. To see all of the available settings and GPUs run the following:

nvidia-settings -query all > all_nvidia_settings

and then open the file all_nvidia_setings with gedit...

Solution 2

Try this instead:

${your offset}${your color}${nvidia temp}°C

For some reason the resulting display will look like this: 45A°C. I can find no one sentence on how to eliminate the "A" but at least you will have a temperature to work with.

You can run nvidia-settings -query GPUCoreTemp to see what it says, and then add the perl commands to see the result.

and if you get an error about $nvidia, install conky-all
