I don't know about his graphics card, but I can sort of monitor my GPU's 
temperature by listening to the fan. It seems to speed up when I ask the 
GPU to do some work, and slow down again afterwards. Although nothing I 
have yet run has made it speed up all that much... I guess it's cold in 
my room or something.
