How to Read the GPU Temp on an NVidia GTS 450 Graphics Card

I recently picked up the Sparkle SXS4501024D4SNP (yes the website says …SNMP, but it says …SNP on the box) GeForce GTS 450. I picked this one specifically because it uses a fanless heatsink. Installation was straight forward but I was left wondering how to check the GPU temperature; since it has no fans, it seems like I might want to keep an eye on the temperature. I dug through the software interface provided by Sparkle with no luck. After much searching, it appears that NVidia’s solution to GPU temperature monitoring for the GTS 450 based video card (and many many more video cards) is a piece of software called NVidia System Tools.
