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 the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp).
the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors)
Installation
First step is to install lm-sensors:
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
Then, s
I'm interested dual booting Fedora 17 64 bit on my MacBook Pro Mountain Lion laptop. I have it working thanks to various helpful web pages I've found in particular this one, but I still have a problem with high CPU temperatures that has so far eluded me.
In OS X on my MacBook runs quite cool when the system is idle. The fans are barely audible.
I upgraded my laptop to ubuntu 12.10 and my laptop temperature went extremely high. It's over 80 degrees Celcius on idle and it can easily go to 87C with just a little browsing. On 90C my laptop shuts down. I am pretty sure it's 12.10 problem because I didn't have this problem with previous releases.
This is my first Ubuntu post so bear with me if I am not making sense.
I am running 9.10 Karmic on the following hardware:
ASUS P7P55D EVO Motherboard
Intel Core i5 (quad core) (64-bit)
4GB RAM
Since my laptop (an Acer Aspire 5750G running a Gentoo Linux with a not-quite-up-to-date kernel 2.6.39-r3 (a weird wLan hardware makes the update difficult)) tends to run rather hot I am trying to control the situation by employing the service cpufreqd. cpufrequtils are present and active. acpi -t returns nothing.
Hi
I have some questions concerning CPU temperature.
1. My laptop shuts itself down, which I guess is due to high CPU temperature. I want to confirm this by looking at some system log file that records the reason that the system shuts itself down. Is there any such syslog file? Where is it stored?
Hi,
I just got this laptop, HP dm3 with AMD Neo X2 L335 cpu. This is a fairy new cpu, and not much is being said about it working under linux.
Hi!
Due to a faulty BIOS it seems as if Ubuntu is unable to turn the fan on again after it has once been turned off, leading to the laptop becoming really hot. The fan is turned off when it goes below 50C. If I boot with ACPI=off the fan runs all the time which is fine with me.
I see two solutions to which I need some advice:
I have a HP Compaq 8510p laptop that I just installed OpenSuse 11.2. Since I had it running, the laptop runs noticebly hotter than when in windows - even under very little load, basically web surfin. It gets so hot it makes my hands sweat! The fan also runs a bit louder and it always spitting out hot air. Ive done a little research and haven't come up with much.
