Monitor CPU temperature of Linux

Monitoring temperature of your computer

What is the temperature like at your computer's core? If you are an Ubuntu, or any Linux, user curious to know how hot is your processor, you can install Computer Temperature Monitor.

It is a small open source applet for the GNOME desktop that shows the temperature of your computer CPU processor on screen. You can also set an alarm to ring if the temperature exceeds a limit. It can also create logs of your processor's temperature readings.


Go to download page of the project and choose to download debian (.deb) package for Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux systems. Once downloaded, run the debian package and install the applet.

Now click on the top panel (the one with menus and link icons) and right-click. Choose "Add to panel" option and then select "Computer Temperature Monitor" from the list. You can also select "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" to track the load on your system's processor.

Right-click on the icons to set your preferences.
