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?

KDE's system monitor is absolutely great, I kinda missed it when switching to GNOME because their default system monitor is very lackluster. I'm now using Mission Center instead tho, which is great! It's basically an almost 1:1 copy of the Windows Task Manager but I think that's a good thing, Task Manager is one of the few things about Windows that are actually really good IMO.

That's a cool program thanks for the recommendation. ~~However, it's disappointing they don't have CPU temps on it.~~ Actually there are CPU temps, just missed it the first time I was looking at the program.
