How to find fan speed in Linux for CPU and GPU

by

To find the fan speed in Linux for the CPU and GPU, you can use the following commands:

CPU fan speed:

  1. You can use the lm-sensors package to check the fan speed of the CPU. To install it, use the command sudo apt-get install lm-sensors (or sudo yum install lm-sensors on Fedora/CentOS).
  2. After installation, use the command sensors to check the current fan speed of the CPU.

GPU fan speed:

  1. You can use the nvidia-smi command to check the fan speed of the GPU. To install it, you need to install NVIDIA GPU driver in your system.
  2. Use the command nvidia-smi -q -d FAN to check the GPU fan speed.

Note: The above commands may vary depending on the Linux distribution you are using.

It’s worth mentioning that some GPUs and motherboards may not support the feature of checking fan speed.
