s-tui VS gotop

There's a way of doing it via s-tui.

I meet this weird situation after switch my laptop to archlinux from windows these days: the system cooling fan didn't spin at all when using s-tui stress Mode, even the core tempreture was up to 90 celsius shown by zenmonitor, but the fan acts normal in daily use. Can someone explan me why it could happen? the principles beind it is much more welcome!

One good, relevant monitoring tool is s-tui.

s-tui is useful for CPU frequency, temperature, and TDP monitoring (make sure to run it with sudo for power details). It also has a nice stress test.

For the CPU I can recommend s-tui which is basically a GUI for stress. You could of course also just run stress without a GUI

Dual Heat-pipe I'll keep this short the only answer to thermal throttling is undervolting your cpu! If you're actually curious to the impact it had keep reading. For the stress tests I use s-tui .

s-tui could give you more clues on what is happening with your system. If the in-built power profiles don't work, you could try throttled.

Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:

- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]

- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]

- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]

- gotop: a `top` clone [4]

- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]

Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

If you like htop, you're going to love [bottom](https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom) or gotop

gotop looks awesome! Here's a maintained fork that's linked to from the original, archived GitHub repo.

There also is btm that shows more host's parameters or gotop

I am the author of go-global-update, the missing command to update globally installed go executables (like gofumpt, gopls, gotop, and other CLI tools you may have installed globally in your system - in your GOBIN directory).

but I also like gotop - https://github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop because it combines processes with the same name and has a very large cpu graph - this is helpful for large machines with many CPUs running a lot of processes

A combination of Bpytop and Gotop for me. Both are great in their own way, but I find Gotop a bit more clear/less cluttered.

gotop is real nice too
