Temperature Level (GPU Core Temperature)

Displays the current temperature of the selected NVIDIA GPU in your system.

Core Slowdown Threshold

Enter the value at which you want the NVIDIA GPU to slow itself down to prevent
overheating.
When this value matches the GPU core temperature value, a dialog box
automatically appears warning of the condition and the actions that have been taken
to prevent possible overheating and damage to any particular GPU(s) in your system.
Note: The recommended value for this setting is the default that is preset. Any
changes to this value should be made with extreme caution.

Ambient Temperature

Ambient temperature is the current temperature of the area surrounding the selected
NVIDIA GPU in your system. This temperature varies greatly, depending on other
heat sources located near the GPU.

Enable Heat Indicator Warning When Threshold Exceeded

When the value of the NVIDIA GPU core temperature matches the Core slowdown
threshold value, the Heat Indicator dialog box automatically appears describing the
situation and the actions that have been taken to prevent possible damage to any
particular GPU(s) in your system.
