It depends on the hardware. 100°C is too hot for all hardware, but 70°C might be OK for your HD, so we cannnot tell you unless you provide more information, so read this:
https://archived.forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-provide-good-information-in-your-posts/37102
and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
An inxi --full --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
![]()
P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU you have, …
There are multiple! psensor is the easiest:
pamac install sensors
pamac install psensor
sudo sensors-detect
psensor &
and looks like this:
The most versatile (and difficult) is Conky:
pamac install conky-cairo
but you need to create a config file for your hardware like this:
conky.config =
