It typically depends on the card... not all of them come with a thermal diode.

However, both Nvidia and ATI do include temperature monitoring via the card's control panel... they're just usually hidden by default.

Almost forgot to mention that I meant VGA memory .

Oh... then that's not possible without installing a diode.

However, I would advise against doing this unless you attach it to a heatsink that's larger than the memory. If you try to sandwich it between the ram and a heatsink, you'll basically eliminate the heatsink's capacity of cooling the memory.
