I need a small tool to monitor the CPU temperature and Fans RPM in Fedora 38

I imagine you are using GNOME? In that case you can use the extension called freon: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/841/freon/
How to get a CPU fan to stay quiet when the issue is not a hardware problem

It would be cool to check your PC temperature, with either a gnome extension https://extensions.gnome.org like freon or install lm-sensors and logging the temperatures. as u/spxak1 said It's probably because your PC is being taxed and tries to cool down your system.
What are these GNOME extensions?

Freon is a nice Gnome Shell for this purpose, it works quite well. Make sure you check their wiki for the dependencies:
Is NVIDIA Card Used By Xorg Regardless Of NVIDIA PRIME Or Non-PRIME?

Probably. Freon, specifically, runs nvidia-smi, it wakes the device up each time it queries the temperature - if GPU temperature reporting is enabled.

Where can I find information about these temperature sensors in my Thelio desktop?
1 project | /r/System76 | 11 Mar 2022

I'm using Freon on Pop!_OS 21.10, and I see a number of sensors detected in my Thelio Mira. I wasn't able to find anywhere in the System76 docs about what each of these may be. The GPU, CPU cores, and disk temp sensors are obvious. I'm wondering where I can find docs or info on what "Composite", "PackageID", "Sensor 1",. "Sensor 2", and "temp1" are measuring.
How do I monitor temperature/fans?

You still need lm-sensors but there are multiple GUI alternatives to sensors. Simplest is probably xsensors and there are also some GNOME extensions that display data from lm-sensors, like Freon for example (I am not GNOME users so I don't have personal experience with it, but it has good reviews).
