Has anybody here tested some temp monitoring tools for Linux Ubuntu?
on Win I use Tthrottle & it saved few of my GPUs already...but I've not been an adapt on Linux...

Been using 14.04LTS & 16.04LTS at home...don't want to fry the CPU & GPUs...

So you would like throttling control and not just thermal monitoring?
If there isn't a tool for that you could likely do a little script. After polling for thermal activity it could then send commands to BOINC via boinccmd to limit usage.

I would do it, if I knew how...but I'm not a "software engineer", only a "mechanical engineer"...& don't know anything about that!

so I'm asking here, if someone has already made a script for their nVidia cards?
;)

Look up "lmsensors" for your motherboard and CPU and other local machine sensing. There are a multitude of graphics to display what lmsensors monitor.

For your GPU, you will need to use whatever sensor/control utility for that...

(lmsensors can report GPU temps for some of the GPU cards...)


Ask for further details over on the Ubuntu forums?


Happy cool fast crunchin,

See new freedom: Mageia Linux
Take a look for yourself: Linux Format
The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3)

I had mentioned a likely solution here on the forum before along these lines.

You can make a cron job that calls lmsensors every X seconds [I don't remember if cron supports seconds, or if it only supports minutes] and if a specific value (CPU or GPU) is above a value that you don't want it to go above, then have it issue a 60-second sleep to the boinccmd command-line?

I don't have an example fleshed out, but that's how I would make a temp-throttling mechanism in Linux. lmsensors + cron + a little bit of scripting.

Thanks, just played with it...but it can only monitor & give some alarms for CPU only!

No GPU add-in... :(

I'm using Psensor and GKrellm

GKrelim has sensors in the Bulitins : Sensors settings.

EDIT: Psensors has an alarm, I don't think GKrellm,does.
