Occasionally when rendering fractals with Fractorium, the GPU render causes the GPU temperature to climb dramatically. The normal temperature with no real load is around 110 F. While rendering it can get as high as 150 F. This is in itself not a big problem but with a few dust bunnies it could go higher.
I am currently using conky to monitor this temperature and would like to know if there is a simple way to change the color of the temperature reading at pre-determined increments. For instance <130 F green, >130 F but <140 F yellow, and >140 F red.
I am currently using conky version 1.10.1-3 and it works fine as is.
This is the code for GPU temperature.

This is not an extremely serious issue but any tips will be appreciated. I will continue to search but this is not a deal killer, I'm just trying to learn new things.
Going on 4 years now with Mint KDE thanks to all of the fine developers, moderators and community members.
