Open Source Linux Hardware Monitoring Software

LibreHardwareMonitor is a hardware monitoring tool that provides real-time data on system temperatures, fan speeds, and voltages across PC components.

FurMark is an intensive benchmarking tool designed to evaluate the performance of graphics cards using fur rendering algorithms. This tool is particularly effective in generating high workloads that can significantly increase the temperature of the GPU, making it a useful utility for testing the stability and stress tolerance of graphics cards. By simulating demanding rendering tasks, FurMark serves as a comprehensive test for assessing the robustness and thermal performance of GPUs under extreme conditions. FurMark from Geeks3D is a free OpenGL benchmark tool for Windows that can also be used to check the stability of a graphics card thanks to a built-in stress test. FurMark rendering is designed to overheat the GPU making it a viral-like stability and stress test tool (also called GPU burner) for the graphics card.

Hard Disk Sentinel (HDSentinel) is a comprehensive hard drive monitoring software designed to track the health, performance, and temperature of various types of storage devices including hard disks, SSDs, and external drives. It provides real-time monitoring and detailed reports to help prevent data loss by identifying potential hardware issues early. With a user-friendly interface, it displays critical data such as drive health status, temperature levels, and potential errors, allowing users to take preventive measures before a failure occurs. It supports a wide variety of disk types and interfaces, making it a versatile solution for both personal and professional use.

lm-sensors is the canonical Linux project for reading motherboard and peripheral hardware sensors—temperatures, fan speeds, voltages—and exposing them to userspace. It ships a probing utility (sensors-detect) that identifies I²C/SMBus chips and kernel drivers, then a runtime tool (sensors) that prints human-readable readings for quick diagnostics. The companion library, libsensors, gives applications a stable API to query sensor values, enabling desktop applets, monitoring daemons, and alerting systems to build on a common foundation. Configuration files map raw chip registers to friendly labels and scaling factors, so outputs reflect real hardware characteristics across many vendors. With this foundation, higher-level tools (like fancontrol or graphical monitors) can automate cooling policies and warn about thermal or power issues before they become failures.

Hardware Visualizer is a lightweight and open-source tool for monitoring your hardware. It lets you track CPU, GPU, memory usage, and more with minimal system impact. Hardware Visualizer is an interactive visualization tool designed to map and display computer hardware components in real time. It helps users understand their system architecture through dynamic 3D or schematic views of components such as CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and peripherals. Ideal for both enthusiasts and IT professionals, HardwareVisualizer provides insight into hardware performance, compatibility, and connectivity. With support for live monitoring, customizable themes, and exportable reports, it simplifies hardware diagnostics and documentation. Whether you're building a PC or managing enterprise systems, HardwareVisualizer turns complex configurations into intuitive visual layouts.

SIV by Ray Hinchliffe. 'System Information Viewer' is a general Windows utility for displaying lots of useful Windows, Network and hardware info - CPU info, PCI info, PCMCIA info, USB info SMBus info, SPD info, ACPI methods, Machine info, Hardware Sensors, Networked computers, Operating System Information and more. SIV is designed for Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2012, 2008, 2003, 2000 and NT4. Windows 95, 98 and Me are also supported. SIV can also be used to control AIO devices, such as fans and LEDs. To do this, you need to specify the -AIOCTL command line qualifier. When -AIOCTL is specified, SIV will automatically do the EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled registry change and restart the USB device. SIV (System Information Viewer) uses pcidevs.txt for the PCI devices, usbdevs.txt for the USB devices, and mondevs.txt for monitoring pcmdevs.txt PCMCIA device descriptions.

This shell script prints short and uniform information about OS such as: CPU, RAM, OS name and version, kernel version, hostname, system load, current processes, network interfaces, total logged in users, hard disks, runlevel, etc. No root or any special superuser's rights are required.

The solution GreenHop aims to perform energy and environmental (temperature, humidity, dew point and atmospheric pressure) monitoring of the Data Center server room, providing energy efficiency indicators through green metrics for Data Centers. The GreenHop solution is based on open source software and hardware. The approach of using open source solutions enables its deployment easier and independently of suppliers at the same time makes the solution scalable to the needs of each organization. Thus, we aim to provide ambiental monitoring of the Data Center server room while we keep the system to be customizable to implement and replicate.
