Recommended tools for monitoring CPU / GPU temps? (self.linux_gaming)

Mangohud works really great for this inside a game, but outside of that I am not sure what to turn to check temps at idle.

I would prefer a GUI tool (QT since I am on Plasma), but I am also comfortable with the terminal. What are you all using?

I just use btop, and even though they recently added GPU diagnostics, there's also nvtop.

For GUI tools, there's cpu-x and for Nvidia GPUs, there's gwe, but I honestly barely use them in preference of btop and nvtop.

I use btop + nvtop in tmux as well. Though btop recently added a GPU section, not detailed as nvtop but does the job if you only want to run btop.
