Ubuntu – How to find out the temperature components are running at in 14.04

14.04diagnosticoverheatingtemperature

The title of the question says it all really. I have a new laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 installed. There appears to be an overheating problem which fortunately does not appear to be affecting performance. I suspect it is my nvidia geforce card, even though I have Bumblebee installed.

In essence what I am looking for is a way, either via terminal or an app, to monitor the temperature of components so as to definably find out what may be overheating.

Look up for lm-sensors and psensor. Those will give you a command line output as well as a GUI for your laptop.

Here is a good tutorial how to use lm-sensors: lm-sensors Howto

Did you check this GitHub ? I tried for my Asus but it doesn't work, I'm still working on it https://github.com/dominiksalvet/asus-fan-control

There is maybe a reason why your fans doesn't trun on when your computer is hot Fans have multiples speed levels, and maybe your first level start at 52° (like me)
