On Linux systems the Open Hardware Monitor requires Mono with WinForms. HWMonitor is a hardware monitoring tool for Windows that monitors computer temperatures, voltages, and fans. I have installed on my Ubuntu an app called pSensor, but it did not detect my Lenovo’s fan (FYI, there is only a single fan in the PC).Īre there any Apps that I can try to install that may detect and report my CPU’s fan speed?

One of the readings I’m interested in is the “Fan Speed” (see highlight below)

I’m a long-time Windows User (please don’t hold that against me) and I’m used an app call SIV to monitor my PCs as these machines are doing intensive CPU tasks.
