Thanks. watch didn't co=operate well with that command from a putty 
session so I used the following instead:
while true; do nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp -c=:0 >>/tmp/temp.log; 
sleep 2;done;

Not surprisingly the temp barely hit 52 degrees. I've had hotter days in 
Dubai. :-)

On to try other things...
