A Graphical Temperature Monitor
Psensor is a graphical hardware temperature monitor for Linux.
It can monitor:
- the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm-sensors).
- the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl).
- the temperature of ATI/AMD GPUs (requires compilation using libatiadlxx, support not enabled in Ubuntu PPAs).
- the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp or libatasmart).
- the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors).
- the CPU usage (since 0.6.2.10 and using Gtop2).
