I got a Flash Artifact issue. And was wondering if it is a GPU heat issue so I checked via istat the temps. The CPU temps aren't there. Cannot return them. Tried unchecking and checking them again.
It is really strange.
The Flash problem got resolved just by a bit of skipping. Flash often has troubles.
GPU Proximity sensor is still working and with only 61C doesn't indicate a problem.

Anybody has ever seen such an issue. GPU power stuff is still reported (VCore, Amps, W) but that wouldn't really require the GPU. Everything else seems to work fine. I never do any gaming lately will be a week until I have time to try and have a go at some Windows gaming and stress testing. It seems really weird.
Anybody knows a different tool on OSX that can read out GPU temps? Or some fix experiences?

I don't really care about the feature but if my GPU is damaged that would require some Apple Care repair.
