  Pretty sure that information is stored in the driver, so you should be able to query it using monitoring software, i.e. see:

  NVML-API

  I know tooling like (nvtop)[github.com/Syllo/nvtop] uses the API, but unsure whether it displays the maximum temperature

  No bios update, but you most likely received both microcode updates (which is what will fix/mitigate the Intel issue, the bios is only to ensure everybody gets the microcode update) and firmware updates (from linux-firmware)

  Of course non-mainlined (i.e. not in the linux kernel) firmware is a bit more iffy, luckily it’s getting slowly better with OEMs using fwupd for those scenarios
