OpenSuse Tumbleweed - CPU Temperature and Corsair Link

I simply cannot figure out how to pull the CPU temperatures for this OS (OpenSuse Tumbleweed), mobo, and CPU combo. I have a 5800X, Asus Prime X470-Pro, and a Corsair Cooler on it. Under Windows I used the Corsair Link software to set the fan speed based on temp. On Linux I cannot find anything to control this cooler nor can I find something to read the CPU temps.

I do know that under CPU load I do NOT hear the fans on the cooler ramp up at all when under Linux and don't want to bake this CPU.


Places I've searched:

https://software.opensuse.org/
https://snapcraft.io/
https://flathub.org/home
Lots of dead end google


Any help would be appreciated.

For monitoring temps and other things I always use gkrellm. I used it with openSUSE for years and it should be in the normal repos. I still use it with Manjaro and have used it in Windows for quite a few years although the Windows port isn't as good and tends to have some buggy behavior. It's not the prettiest out there but it's configurable and monitors what I need.

I don't know what software to use for controlling fans and whatnot. Any of that I do in the BIOS since it's usually simpler and doesn't need to have a specific OS running or even an OS at all. Besides, most of the software is trash and tends to cause problems I don't want to have to deal with.

Thank you. I'll have to spend some with this later but I appreciate the two pointers.

Between the two tools I got something. This was right after a stress-ng --cpu 16 --timeout 20.

As far as the fans on the cooler are concerned - I may be able to adjust the speeds in the BIOS. I did some tooling around and need to figure out how the bios sees what/where. I'll work on that next.

your asus board should have the q-fan button at the very top. make sure the cpu fan is set to pwm, select a mode at the bottom or create a curve and then it should adjust. and id ignore the nvme sensor 1+2 high/lows, they look a little off ;)

Yeah lol - .05 away from 0 Kelvin. Thanks for tip on the fans. One of them is the pump though and the other is the fans. I do have all my other case fans setup with static speeds (3 in front and 1 in rear). That reminds me I need to post a picture sometime so you call can tell me what I'm doing wrong trying to set the airflow. I think my assumptions of how things should work and how they actually work are completely different. The bios hard locks if I touch the pump one so I can to leave that alone for sure.
