Although highly configurable I've never had to change the configuration settings for a pleasant Out-Of-The-Box experience. It works with thermald, Intel Powerclamp, Battery vs AC for USB power, etc. tlp works wonders for keeping system under control. 10 seconds later turbo is turned back on and temperatures immediately spike back up to 72☌.Īfter knowing your temperature you probably want to control it better. Then turbo is switched off and temp drops 10☌ to 62☌ with a non-turbo speed of 2600 MHz. The temperature starts at 72☌ with a single CPU running at 100% in turbo mode of 3200 MHz. Within conky the system variable I used to monitor an Ivy Bridge CPU is: $☌ If you don't mind third-party utilities I like to use Conky-a light weight system monitor. For the Skylake i7 6700HQ CPU, I used this temperature for Conky display below. The last temperature is x86_pkg_temp reported at 54.0☌. The temperatures are stored in Celsius with 3 implied decimal places. To see what zones the temperatures are referring to use: $ paste <(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/type) <(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp) | column -s $'\t' -t | sed 's/\(.\).$/.\1☌/' If you want to find out the temperature without installing anything, use: $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp To see HDD temperature Install hddtemp sudo apt-get install hddtempĪt the time of writing, all the answers involve use of third-party utilities. Finally to get your CPU temperature type sensors in your terminal. You may also need to run sudo service kmod start Install lm-sensors sudo apt-get install lm-sensorsĪfter installation type the following in terminal sudo sensors-detect
