hwinfo/libhd are used to probe for the hardware present in the system. It can be used to generate a system overview log which can be later used for support.


Lm-Sensors is a free and open-source application that provides tools and drivers for monitoring temperatures, voltage, and fans.

CoolerControl features a GUI for viewing all your system's sensors and for creating custom fan and pump profiles based on any available temperature sensor. Paired with this is a systemd service that controls all your devices in the background.




fancontrol is a shell script for use with lm_sensors. It reads its configuration from a file, then calculates fan speeds from temperatures and sets the corresponding PWM outputs to the computed values.

Thinkfan is a simple, lightweight fan control program. Originally designed specifically for IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads, it now supports any kind of system via the sysfs hwmon interface (/sys/class/hwmon). It is designed to eat as little CPU power as possible.
