Hello,

now after patch nouveau report temperature:

$ sensors
...
nouveau-pci-0500
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +63.0ÂC  (high = +95.0ÂC, hyst =  +3.0ÂC)
                       (crit = +145.0ÂC, hyst =  +2.0ÂC)
                       (emerg = +135.0ÂC, hyst =  +5.0ÂC)
...

I found that nvidia binary driver has command line utility 
nvidia-smi which report same temperature as X utility nvidia-
settings. So I will use nvidia-smi (if it is OK).

And after reboot nvidia report another temperature value:

$ nvidia-smi -q -d TEMPERATURE
...
GPU 0000:05:00.0
    Temperature
        Gpu                     : 70 C

Immediately I called nvapeek command:

$ nvapeek 0x15b0
000015b0: 1000008e

So value reported by nouveau is lower than value reported by 
nvidia binary driver.

I wait some some and started nvidia-smi and nvapeek again, here 
are results:

$ nvidia-smi -q -d TEMPERATURE
...
GPU 0000:05:00.0
    Temperature
        Gpu                     : 67 C

$ nvapeek 0x15b0
000015b0: 1000008e

So it looks like that nvapeek returning always same value and 
does not depends on temperature... It is OK?
