GPU-Z 2.37.0 Reporting GPU Temperature, Hot Spot and Memory Temperature on RTX 3080 GPU

It seems that the HWiNFO tool is no longer the only software that allows you to check the GDDR6X video memory temperature on Nvidia RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 GPUs. The latest TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.37.0 apparently also supports the display of the temperature of the hot GDDR6X memory chips and not only that, but also features support and reports the GPU Hot Spot temperature as well. It is interesting to note however that these two features apparently were left unannounced as getting added in the changelog of the latest version that has been released about two weeks ago. Frankly it was by luck that I found out that the GDDR6X Memory Operating Temperature and Hot Spot monitoring support has been added in the latest GPU-Z.

GPU-Z v2.37.0 Changelog:
- Added memory vendor detection on Navi 1x and Navi 2x
- Added workaround for NVIDIA Ampere PCIe hardware bug
- Added filter to avoid misreadings on EVGA iCX
- Fixed fake detection for some GT218 variants
- Improved Russian translation
- Added preliminary support for Radeon RX 6700 and RX 6600 Series
