Or use sudo hddtemp /dev/sda for hard drive. You can finally use sensors command to tell hardware temperature at any time.

Next, run sensor-detect command to scan your computer hardware and choose which hardware you want to check. And hddtem is available for hard drive temperature.įor Ubuntu and Debian based systems, just open terminal or go to command console and install the tools via command: sudo apt install lm-sensors hddtemp lm-sensors, hddtempįor those working on Linux command console, lm-sensors is present to check your CPU, GPU, motherboard temperature. When it opens, run command: sudo apt install indicator-sensors 3. To install the tool, open terminal by either searching from overview screen or pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard. The tool by default displays nothing in my case, users need to go preferences and choose which to display. It displays CPU, NVIDIA GPU, hard drive temperatures based on the command line lm-sensors and hddtemp tools.

openSUSE users may run command in terminal to install the tool: sudo zypper install hardinfoįor Ubuntu and Debian with the GNOME desktop environment, this is a simple indicator applet in system tray area.

And Arch, Manjaro Linux may install it by running command: sudo pacman -S hardinfo.

For Fedora and CentOS, use command: sudo dnf install hardinfo.

Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint based systems, run command to install hardinfo: sudo apt install hardinfo.

Simply install it from the Software App, or by running one of commands below.

The software is available in most Linux repositories, including Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux, and openSUSE. The sensors is enough to monitor if the computer is going overheat, though beginners including me may not know which hardware that the temperature tells for. Hardinfo is great for checking information for system, hardware, networking, and for benchmarking. The popular system information and benchmark tool, Hardinfo, has “sensors” in the left panel under ‘Devices’ that monitors the hardware temperature. However, when you need running a large project such as video processing, it’s always good if there’s an app indicates the CPU and/or GPU temperature. Users may use a power saving utility, e.g., TLC or slimbook battery, to cool down computer and save battery life. To prevent computer or laptop from overheating, here are quite a few tools to keep an eye on hardware temperature.
