CPU Data Reader

Post by Alvin »

In Windows 7, the last of my now removed MS OSs, there was a CPU data reader. It gave the CPU temperature and monitored its activity. Is there a program like that for linux-mint 19.1 ?
My CPU temperature is about 37C. I think that is normal for my system. I got that reading from Foxclone.

Well let's look at what info you haven't given us yet.

We don't know what cpu you're running, the motherboard, or its bios/uefi version. Also we don't know if you're using Cinnamon, Mate, or XFCE desktop.

Read viewtopic.php?f=17&t=83444 ..specifically the part about posting your inxi -Fxxxrz results. We might not be be to give accurate and applicable help without more info.

Assuming the data you mean is how hard each core is working, you could try going to Menu/Applets and trying the Multi-core system monitor. However, that would depend on what version of Mint you are running - so it would be best to do what has been suggested to you by motoryzen if you need more help.

If you are running cinnamon there is a CPU temp applet. Foxclone is running the lxpanel.

If a desktop 37C is normal.
