I run it and it always reported value 000000ff (also when temperature changed).

My idea is that register does not contains temperature. Both nouveau and 
nvidia driver when show different temperature it does not show different output 
from "nvapeek 0x15b0".

Now I started computer with nouveau driver. Temperature is incresing, but 
nvapeek 0x15b0 is still same.

So do you really needs other tests with nvapeek 0x15b0? Is that register 
correct?
