Sabreknight, did this just start happening out of the blue, or has this always been true for your JS? You might try to figure out what was installed just before the problem started- sort Programs and Features list by Install Date - and see if uninstalling some stuff fixes it. This is another one that also offers similar features.įor Console cases, you could use nvidia-smi for Nvidia cards for example like this nvidia-smi -query-gpu=timestamp,name,pci.bus_id,driver_version,pstate,temperature.gpu,utilization.gpu,mory,memory.total,ee,ed,power.draw,clocks.sm,m, -format=csv -l 1 This one has an option to show the Video card Temperature and other factors as well. There are 2 excellent tools in Gnome, for this. Here is the relevant conky code for above: #-+ After running glxgears CPU temperature climbs to 73 degrees Celsius! Conky code Initially there is low load on Intel Integrated GPU (iGPU) and temperature (of CPU) is 49 degrees Celsius. Here's what my Conky looks like when prime-select intel is active: Display for Laptop with Intel Integrated GPU active After running glxgears GPU speed spikes to max speed of 1037 MHz and temperature climbs to 58 degrees Celsius. Initially there is low load on nVidia GPU and it's running at 746 MHz and is 55 degrees Celsius. Here's what my Conky looks like when prime-select nvidia is active: I'll try to find a more demanding graphics test than glxgears in the future. My Conky display changes depending on whether Intel or nVidia is selected.īelow are GIFs for nVidia and Intel before and running glxgears to tax the GPU. Most laptops with nVidia GPUs also include an Intel Integrated GPU (iGPU) for use when on battery power.

You can use it to constantly display GPU temperature along with other system elements you like to follow.

Conky is a light weight (on resources, not features) system monitor popular in Linux.
