How to monitor CPU and GPU temperature?

miros84 · 04-08-2014, 09:41 AM

Hi,

I repair laptop some times and need to check or monitor CPU or GPU temperature sometimes but dont want to install windows for that. In Windows I use cpu temp or other software. Can I check temperature with Linux mint or Ubuntu o Fedora anyway?

Hi. Conky or Psensor or right click to add widgets to your panel bar or desktop (like bubble-mon I think one was called you may have to install such things or use other window managers like Xfce and\or KDE etc.) Otherwise the terminal can tell you with I'm sure many different commands

Code:

top

is a good one for CPU usage not sure if it does temp:

For Fedora:

Code:

~$ sudo yum install lm_sensors

. To view temps (with actual output from my desktop system):

Code:

~$ sensors
nouveau-pci-0200
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +91.0°C  (high = +95.0°C, hyst =  +3.0°C)
                       (crit = +105.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)
                       (emerg = +135.0°C, hyst =  +5.0°C)

k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:   +58.0°C  
Core0 Temp:   +60.0°C  
Core1 Temp:   +58.0°C

Code:

harry@biker ~ $ acpi
Battery 0: Full, 100%
harry@biker ~ $ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +46.0°C  (crit = +98.0°C)
temp2:        +46.0°C  (crit = +98.0°C)

I have been using Glances also besides conky
