Graphical CPU Sensor App For PI4 running Ubuntu

[robertdaleweir]

Hi
I am looking for a temperature (CPU and SOC) for a PI4 running Ubuntu. My application is a 'turnkey' system imaged onto a PI4 with 4GB Ram etc. I am looking for a Temperature monitoring GUI based App so I can monitor the Temperature of the Processor, so as to minimize throttling. I have inserted my PI4 into a fan cooling case and the unit will be running 24/7. I have something called 'Psense' and I have installed lm-sensors but neither one allows me to capture CPU Temperature.
Can anyone make a suggestion...

The recommended Operating System is Raspbian Buster:

Right.

are you using a gui?

Code: Select all

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

just fyi temps are in centigrade, so the first 2 numbers are the important part.

most gui's have some kind of monitor add-on

Why on earth did you bother to reply to this post? Some of your comments are getting ridiculous. Stop it.


In regard to the question, which was very specific, if you are using the Raspberry Pi desktop on Ubuntu then there are taskbar plugins to display CPU temperature and CPU speed.

With Ubuntu, is it possible to install the latest firmware?

If so, then, especially with a fan, throttling should be a thing of the past even under extreme loads, and there is no need to monitor it.

For peace of mind, there is a command "vcgencmd get_throttled".
If this returns 0x0, then the Pi has never throttled (since the last boot anyway) and there is adequate voltage - your Pi is happy!
