I have tried Hardinfo and sensors, but they don't look to meet what I'm looking for.

Many modern computer components contain thermal sensors, including but not limited to the CPU, hard drive, and even motherboards, although to be fair, motherboards did it first. Display cards may or may not include them but they should as they are usually the first to die from overheating.
That said, it has never been my experience that commonplace network cards monitor their temperature, nor have I known them to overheat. They do die however, a behavior I assume is caused by power surges over the ethernet cabling, and sometimes by poor chipset quality.
If your ethernet card appears to be flakey, it could well be the card itself. Still more likely is that your router needs to be reset, is dying, or is of poor quality. I see failing routers with some frequency. Some routers with big reputations caused by heavy advertising are terribly unreliable. D-Link and Linksys come to mind first. Most Netgear routers are bulletproof, and Ironically they often cost half as much retail, and can cost a quarter the store price if you order refurbished netgear routers online, which is something I do quite frequently for my friends.
To get back to your original question, if your goal is to monitor any temperature inside your pc, your best bet is to go in search of a self-illuminated front panel temperature monitor and attach the wired thermistor included with the kit to whatever components inside your pc. Many of these are configured to monitor four components such as your display card and some of them even offer outputs for variable speed cooling fans. I probably don't have to tell you these devices are aimed primarily at overclockers obsessed with gaming, but they can just as well be applied to sensible people concerned to reliability and system longevity.
I apologize if I seem to issue TMI, but I beg of you to please understand I do not do this to brag, but rather to give you all information which will help ensure your success.
