Trigger to execute a command when GPU temperature reaches a certain point

You can use a shell script to monitor the GPU temperature and perform the desired action based on the temperature reading. Here is an example script that plays a sound when the GPU temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius and stops the program when the temperature goes below 70 degrees Celsius:

#!/bin/bash

# Set the temperature threshold
TEMP_THRESHOLD=70

# Loop indefinitely
while true; do
  # Get the current GPU temperature
  TEMP=$(nvidia-smi --query-gpu=temperature.gpu --format=csv,noheader)

  # Check if the temperature is above the threshold
  if [[ $TEMP -ge $TEMP_THRESHOLD ]]; then
    # Play a sound
    paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/alarm-clock-elapsed.oga

    # Execute a command or start a program
    # For example, start a stress test using the FurMark benchmark
    /path/to/FurMark-1.24.0.0/FurMark.exe /run /nogui /max_gpu_temp 80 /no_score_box

  else
    # Stop the program
    # For example, stop the FurMark benchmark
    killall FurMark.exe
  fi

  # Sleep for 1 minute before checking the temperature again
  sleep 60
done

In this script, we first set the temperature threshold to 70 degrees Celsius. We then enter an infinite loop that continuously checks the current GPU temperature using the nvidia-smi command.

If the temperature is above the threshold, the script plays a sound using the paplay command and executes a command or starts a program (in this example, we start the FurMark benchmark with a maximum GPU temperature of 80 degrees Celsius).

If the temperature is below the threshold, the script stops the program (in this example, we stop the FurMark benchmark using the killall command).

The script sleeps for 1 minute before checking the temperature again to avoid excessive CPU usage. You can modify the script to perform different actions or use different programs based on your requirements.

Tools like HWMonitor, Open Hardware Monitor, or GPU-Z provide real-time monitoring of GPU temperature. These often have built-in alerting features that can play sounds, send notifications, or execute scripts when temperatures reach specific thresholds.
