Mangohud works really great for this inside a game, but outside of that I am not sure what to turn to check temps at idle.
I would prefer a GUI tool (QT since I am on Plasma), but I am also comfortable with the terminal. What are you all using?

The default system monitor application that comes with KDE can do this. You will need to click the “edit page” button in the top right, and create a custom layout that shows all the sensors you want. Here is mine:
You can display the data using pie charts, text, line charts, etc.
Once you create your layout, you can even turn it into a widget that you can have on your desktop or drop into your taskbar.
KDE’s system monitor is absolutely great, I kinda missed it when switching to GNOME because their default system monitor is very lackluster. I’m now using Mission Center instead tho, which is great! It’s basically an almost 1:1 copy of the Windows Task Manager but I think that’s a good thing, Task Manager is one of the few things about Windows that are actually really good IMO.
That’s a cool program thanks for the recommendation.
However, it’s disappointing they don’t have CPU temps on it.Actually there are CPU temps, just missed it the first time I was looking at the program.Nice I had no idea, thanks for the tip
