Monitoring
Sensors
The lm_sensors package shows temperatures, fan pwm and other sensors for your CPU, GPU and motherboard.
Run $ sensors to get the output.
Support for motherboard ITE LPC chips
Support for this type of chip does not come built in to lm_sensors.
In the AUR the package it87-dkms-git provides a kernel module with support for a variety of ITE chips. It pulls from this git repo. You can find a list of supported chips there. See this issue on lm_sensors git repo for background info.
The kernel driver can be automatically loaded on boot by putting it87 into /etc/modules-load.d/(filename).conf
The option acpi_enforce_resources=lax also needs to be added to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub or your bootloader equivalent.
CoreFreq
CoreFreq can display a lot of information about the CPU and the memory controller.
To run, the systemd service corefreqd needs to be enabled.
CoreFreq also depends on a kernel driver. Simply put corefreqk into /etc/modules-load.d/(filename).conf to load it automatically on boot.
Access the TUI using $ corefreq-cli
A few interesting views:
Shift + C shows per thread frequency, voltage and power, as well as overall power and temperature.
Shift + M shows the memory timings, frequency and DIMM layout.
Zenmonitor
Zenmonitor is, as the name suggests, monitoring software specifically for AMD Zen CPUs.
CoreCtrl
| Hardware | Supported |
|---|---|
| AMD CPU | Minimal |
| AMD GPU | Yes |
CoreCtrl displays a range of information for AMD GPUs.
Make sure to set amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff as kernel option.
Amdgpu Top
| Hardware | Supported |
|---|---|
| AMD GPU | Yes |
Amdgpu Top shows various statistics on GPU utilization (GFX, compute, decode, etc.) and a lot of GPU sensor information.
The tool is available as TUI by running amdgpu_top in a terminal or as full GUI application with amdgpu_top --gui
Error monitoring
Some applications have hardware error reporting built-in.
Kernel log
For others, try checking the kernel log.
[shroot]
journalctl -k --grep=mce

Rasdaemon
You can also install aur/rasdaemon and enable its two services.
[shroot]
systemctl enable --now ras-mc-ctl.service
systemctl enable --now rasdaemon.service
[/shroot]
