GPU fan speed

[wfischer]

I have a nvidia GeForce 5200 FX, and I think the fan is acting up, but it's nearly impossible to see the fan when the computer is running because it's upside down. Is there any way to monitor the GPU's fan speed and/or temp?

[dibl]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvclock


man nvclock to learn the command options

This doesn't show fan speed or GPU temp.

Running Debian Sid, it does here:

I guess I don't have sensors for it then?

I don't know the FX 5200 -- it may not have had a fan speed sensor in it.
