Function Documentation

NvAPI_GPU_GetThermalSettings()

NVAPI_INTERFACE NvAPI_GPU_GetThermalSettings	(	NvPhysicalGpuHandle	hPhysicalGpu,
		NvU32	sensorIndex,
		NV_GPU_THERMAL_SETTINGS *	pThermalSettings
	)

This function retrieves the thermal information of all thermal sensors or specific thermal sensor associated with the selected GPU. Thermal sensors are indexed 0 to NVAPI_MAX_THERMAL_SENSORS_PER_GPU-1.

• To retrieve specific thermal sensor info, set the sensorIndex to the required thermal sensor index.
• To retrieve info for all sensors, set sensorIndex to NVAPI_THERMAL_TARGET_ALL.

SUPPORTED OS: Windows 7 and higher

TCC_SUPPORTED

Since

Release: 85

Parameters

[in]	hPhysicalGPU	GPU selection.
[in]	sensorIndex	Explicit thermal sensor index selection.
[out]	pThermalSettings	Array of thermal settings.

Return values

NVAPI_OK	Completed request
NVAPI_ERROR	Miscellaneous error occurred.
NVAPI_INVALID_ARGUMENT	pThermalInfo is NULL.
NVAPI_HANDLE_INVALIDATED	Handle passed has been invalidated (see user guide).
NVAPI_EXPECTED_PHYSICAL_GPU_HANDLE	Handle passed is not a physical GPU handle.
NVAPI_INCOMPATIBLE_STRUCT_VERSION	The version of the INFO struct is not supported.
