This information helps anyone here in this forum to be able to answer any questions you may have better, thanks. You can get this information from top of your system menu's Welcome screen, System Information program(s), and the best is by typing in ' inxi -Fxz' from a console terminal prompt, which you can then copy and paste back here. Install Cpu-z alternatives i-Nex v 0.6 and Cpu-G in Ubuntu/Linux Mint/other Ubuntu derivativesįYI: It would help everyone here to have more information about your system's setup: like what edition and version of Linux Mint are you using, Cinnamon, Mate, KDE (my favorite), or Xfce version 17 or 17.1, or What? 32-bit or 64-bit? Some more information about your hardware would be useful as well. Great website for Linux stuff- ex: New Official Proprietary GPU Drivers Ubuntu PPA Released Examples: 'lm-sensors', 'psensor', 'conky', 'gkrellm', 'mbmon' & 'xmbmon', 'fancontrol' & other various 'fan control stuff', etc.īoth Nvidia and AMD proprietary drivers in linux have overclocking utilities - Nvidia-Settings and AMDconfig. You might need to add an applet, widget, desklet, to your system tray panel or desktop to view them. Some of these sensors may already be installed. There are also numerous 'hardware sensors' available which I personally think is a good idea to install even if you are not 'overclocking' your system just to be aware of potential problems, like your CPU or GPU or hard drive overheating, or hardware fans not working, resulting in potential hardware failure. Obviously, anyone overclocking their system takes chances on hurting their system, if they are not very careful. Search for 'CPU', 'GPU', 'i-nex' (cpu-z), 'cpu-g', 'overclock', 'nvclock', rovclock', etc. I think you'll find that there are programs similar to the ones you mentioned. You could search your Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) to see if there are any available programs or utilities there which might provide similar functions.
