But HWinfo also has a VRAM temp sensor ?

And

 

Not sure all cards expose VRAM temperature so perhaps then they are bundled into hot spot then?  I mean it makes sense that GPU temperature should be core hot spot, with GPU hot spot including every sensor on the card.

 

VRM sensors aren't exposed, so it would make sense those would be bundled in.

 

Basically the HwInfo Author is admitting they don't exactly know for sure, it could include anything due to being undocumented.

In my opinion, any sensor where a developer is unsure of what it specifically measures should NOT be bundling them in with another one. They should list it as a separate UNKNOWN sensor reading, not bundle it with another sensor reading. 

 

If video card manufacturers are part of the problem, then shame on them.

It does make me wonder, if they aren't sure what hot spot monitors, how did they even figure it IS a hot spot reading to start with?
