Cheers!

Recently my gt555m's thermal sensor stopped meassuring temperatures below cca 35 celsius, showing 0C, besides gpu-z freezes completely till it starts capturing data again from the sensor (speedfan just showing 0C). I've recently downloaded a new driver for the card, but not sure if has something with it. When running at higher temperatures, the dataflow from the sensor is continous.

Is this a problem to worry about?

Thanks!

It may be but i am not sure if your card will have this feture but some cards use tempreture sensors to tell if they can speed up because the tempreture is low and when it gets too high it throttles back so it does not overheat. It is called thermal throttleing if you google it you can probably read more in depth stuff about it
