![]() Or xsensors to get this in a dynamically updating window: Then you can run sensors on the command line: To use the kernel modules, I ran: sudo service kmod start If you run the command twice, it will put the drivers into /etc/modules twice. Here coretemp shows the cpu temperatures and w83667hg shows motherboard information such as fan speeds, temperatures and voltages. ![]() You can see the additions in /etc/modules. I answered yes to every question including the one where it does the update to the kernel configuration file. This identifies the kernel modules that can monitor the speed of the fans and the temperature of the cpu, motherboard etc. Install the software sudo apt-get install lm-sensors xsensors fancontrolĪs a check to monitor fan speeds, cpu and motherboard temperatures, we first need to be able to run xsensors. The values shown below are after correcting this and replacing all the fans with high-end quiet versions (except the power supply). When I first bought this computer, the manufacturer hadn’t attached the CPU cooler correctly and I ran for a while with the cores permanently throttling themselves at 100 degrees. ![]() I don’t think this is particularly dangerous, but some might. Maybe this has arisen because my desktop PC hardware is 4 years old and newer motherboards are better integrated with modern Linux, but this is what I needed to do to solve this problem.Ĭaveat – if you’re not comfortable running your PC without fans for a time, don’t bother going any further. There are various articles around on the internet, but this has been a constant problem for me so I thought I’d collect together all the info I need to provide a reference for the future. On my desktop computer, I am able to control the fans under Windows using software provided by the motherboard manufacturer, but it is not obvious how to do this under Ubuntu.
