Recommendations for CPU and GPU temp monitor?

[bainkowalski]

Looking for a good thermal monitor widget or anything. The one I used to use does not work on latest KDE since I've upgraded. What do yall use?

[Virginio Miranda]

I use Psensor.

[Montmorency]

I use Psensor too.

Thank you! I honestly forgot about Psensor cause I was using Thermal Monitor for a while!

i just use the standard monitors that come with KDE... i tend to like the bar chart for thermal measures

i've found it's easier to configure the display using the system monitor edit mode and then take all those settings to a widget where you want the monitor to live on the desktop....i put mine into a panel, but they could also just live on the desktop.

Opps, sorry by "latest KDE" I mean Kubuntu 24.10, the normal widget I used to use does not work on it.

working fine here 24.10... what widget are you trying to use?

Psensor is good (is it still available in Kubuntu?). Plasma has widgets, but I never bothered with those. You can also add extra pages to the Plasma system monitor and configure it to show various sensors. Personally I just run a dedicate Konsole profile with lm-sensors.

Shoot never saw this, I was using Thermal Monitor.

Thermal Monitor.

that must be a 3rd party addon, you would need to contact the developer and see when they will have it ported for Qt6

or just use the builtin monitor

i find it easier to build what i want in the System Monitor app by editing the Overview page, and then recreate each monitor widget in place based on what i've done there.

• CPU usage
• CPU fan speed (or CPU freq)
• GPU usage
• GPU fan speed
• core temps (there are more than 8, but selected a few)
• misc temp sensors (BUS, CPU ave, GPU, etc)
• memory usage
• network i/o
• disk i/o
