Linux CPU Moniter

shuiend:
is there any cpu monitoring software for linux? I know in windows you use WCPUID to monitor temp and all. Is there a prgrom like this in linux. I would like to see how hot my system is at diffrent times and loads.

voidmain:
There are millions of CPU tools for Linux, some graphical, some will create logs, etc, etc. How would you like to be able to monitor your CPU? Real time? Daily logs broken down in specified time increments? Realtime moving graphs? If you can give specifics I can give you some examples of tools that will give you what you want.

TheQuirk:
$ top

there's also a graphical utility, I'll find it out tomorrow.

voidmain:
top is good. I like GKrellM for a nice little rolling graph of several stats (CPU being one of them). Of course there are the simple little gadgets like xload, xcpustate. Then there are non-graphical apps like top, procinfo, iostat, vmstat, etc that have lots of options. Then there are logging apps like sar which is an excellent logger capable of keeping detailed logs and creating reports on just about everything you can think of relating to performance. Of course this is just the short list. These are utilities included with most UNIX/Linux systems (not counting GKrellM).

Thanks for the replys. Top is nice but i would like something with a gui and also telles me the temperature of my cpu. I am planning on overclocking soon and would like to monitor the speed and temperature of my cpu.
