I checked dmesg and found LOTS of messages like this one:
[163081.727684] NVRM: GPU at 0000:19:00:
GPU-b2a01352-e0b4-db8e-9878-6fbbf3298c41
Is this, what we're looking for or nothing to worry about?

I sure hope not, this thing is brandnew... :-)

I thought about that too. Unfortunately, I cannot check the GPU
temperature for M-series cards, as far as I know, except with the HP
Cluster Management Utility, which I don't have at the moment.

The latest driver is already installed and also recently re-installed
during a kernel update...
Cheers,
Benjamin
