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?

    Every GUI tool just uses the data from lm_sensors, so you’ll need to install that and have it identify the installed hardware sensors in your computer. After that, you can choose from a variety of GUI front ends; here is the Arch Wiki page with a list of common and popular GUI tools for this purpose.

      Thanks! Lm_sensors didn’t appear to be in the opensuse repo, but I will double check because it seems like a lot of things depend on it
