Hotspot temperature sensor on Nvidia's Blackwell gaming GPUs is still accessible if you have access to Nvidia's internal MODS tool — Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti caught throttling at 107°C over poor TIM application

Despite Nvidia's efforts to hide the hotspot temperature sensor on its RTX 50 series GPUs, internal diagnostic tools like the "MODS" tool still allow access to this data, revealing overheating issues that can cause throttling, such as the RTX 5070 Ti throttling at 107°C due to poor thermal interface material application. This suggests that hidden thermal issues may be a broader problem, indicating why the sensor was concealed in the first place. The implications are significant for gamers and tech enthusiasts, as it highlights potential quality control and thermal management issues within the RTX 50 series GPUs.
