Hey all, Just wondering what you use for hardware monitoring if you have an app that can show various speeds and temperatures etc?

Quick edit: what about stress testing as well?

KDE Plasma's default monitor is quite good, but you'll need to edit the page to reveal all the hidden trackers that aren't shown by default. Great if you already use Plasma.

I also tend to use CoreCtrl and Steam's inbuilt monitor (which I think is based off Mangohud?). CoreCtrl has a nice UI (much better than LACT, IMO), but it's no longer receiving active development, so it doesn't support the current generation of GPU's. Meanwhile, Steam's monitor is convenient but, well, it only works on Steam
