If I understand correctly, I think that "nvidia-smi -a" provides that kind of output (temperature, fan speed, gpu core and memory utilization).
Nice! This does it, thank you!
$ nvidia-smi -a

sorry if that was a dud steer, I'll try to remember to check my other box later to see if I do have a fix in there somewhere

nvidia threshold Nvidia graficcard support for the XNVCtrl library. Each option can be shortened to the least significant part. Temperatures are printed as float, all other values as integer.
* threshold - The thresholdtemperature at which the gpu slows down
* temp - Gives the gpu current temperature
* ambient - Gives current air temperature near GPU case
* gpufreq - Gives the current gpu frequency
* memfreq - Gives the current mem frequency
* imagequality - Which imagequality should be chosen by OpenGL applications
Any info you can provide is appreciated! Maybe a ~/.conkyrc that has this enabled?
