Available in free ( Community Supported) and paid versions. SIW, along with a temperature display, offers a number of other functions such as displaying passwords hidden behind asterisks, NAC changer, Network Tools, Monitor tester, Browser cookie and history explorer, along access to Windows tools and settings. This is the same company that created Defraggler, arguably the best disk defragmenter (by far). There are free and paid versions (and no ADs, just that free version has no support). CoreTempMC is a Windows Media Center add-on for Windows 7 and Vista. Online help file and Menu Find feature to locate the menu you need. Speccy (by Piriform/CCleaner) Something simpler from somewhere you've heard of, provides basic information in an easy to use traditional styled GUI. The Open Hardware Monitor is a free open source software that monitors temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of a computer. Runs on Windows XP/Vista/7/8.1/10 in 45 languages. Most recent review (on, in German) rates it 4.2/5 last year. Was a Softpedia Editor's Choice when it was reviewed long ago, it's on its 64th update (5) now. MooO System Monitor lets you choose by checkbox what to display allowing you to create a desktop widget that can sit off to the side. Enormous menu has search function to locate which system information value you want to inspect. Most processors that can run Windows are also supported including AMD, Intel, Itanium, DEC Alpha, VIA. Windows 95, 98 and Me are also supported. Know your CPU, its core infor and much more.System Information Viewer can check the temperature of each CPU core along with the temperature of other devices that report their values such as memory controller hub, HDD, SSD, GPU, UPS, etc. There you have it! Get more information on the CPU The above command will refresh the sensor data every 2 seconds but if you want to increase/decrease the time frame, you can do that.įor example, here, I want live monitoring so I go with the 0 seconds of interval: watch -n 0 sensors Once done, you can use the watch command in the following manner to monitor CPU temperature: watch -n 2 sensors To check the temperature in the terminal, you'd need to have the same lm-sensors package you saw in the previous method. That's it! Terminal Method: Check CPU temperature with sensors command Next, click on the Startup menu and enable the Launch on session startup option: To start it automatically on system boot, click on the Psensor icon in the system panel and choose the Preferences option: If you reboot your system, you won't find the Psensor displaying the temperature in the panel. Enable the Display sensor in the label option.

Choose from which sensor you want to project data on the panel.

The Psensor utility can be configured to show the temperature of specific devices, and this can be pulled off pretty quickly.įirst, click on the Psensor icon in your system panel and choose the Sensor Preferences option:įrom here, you have to follow 3 simple steps: To do so, first, select which hardware you want to monitor and then, you have to drag the window from the extreme left to center or right: Display CPU temperature in the panel You can also monitor all the sensors in graph view. It can even show the hard drive temperature. Psensor will show the temperature for each CPU core individually. That's it, now, you can start the Psensor from your system menu. Here, it will ask you which sensors to include and which to not, I would recommend going with defaults (by pressing the enter key).

Once done, you can start the detection of the hardware sensors using: sudo sensors-detect To make Psensor work, first, you'd have to install the lm-sensor package using the following: sudo apt install lm-sensors psensor Im still helping friends with their computers, and as you all know - DRIVERS are essential. You need to install the tool first and then configure it as per your need. HWinfo has helped me many times as a supporter. GUI Method: Use Psensor to check CPU temperature in Ubuntu Using the watch and sensors command combination (command line method).In this tutorial, I will be sharing two ways to check the CPU temperature in Ubuntu: How do you know your CPU is heating up? Well, you can touch your computer in appropriate places but you won't know how high the temperature is. If your Ubuntu system suddenly becomes unresponsive, high CPU temperature could be a possible culprit here. Nowadays is quite easy to arrange fairly complex prototypes even on small breadboards. Getting a low performance even on the powerful hardware? Your system may be throttling to keep the temps low! Before turning on the soldering iron and fixing forever in time and space any electronic component, is good practice to build a test prototype (tip number two).
