probe processor voltage in linux
I am in a redhat server
I've tried to use lm-sensors to detect my processor's voltage,
just like CPU-Z in windows environment.
But after I using the command "sensor-detect",
only processor's temperature printed out,
how can I make processor's voltage be printed out?
Do I need to load some modules?
Thanks a lot!
I had the same problem. The way that I found to read the CPU voltage was using cpu-x, an open source program.
This program may need a few libraries to work. In my case I needed to install libcpuid which i didn't find in the main repository, so I installed from the source.
To install libcpuid:
git clone https://github.com/anrieff/libcpuid.git
cd libcpuid
libtoolize
autoreconf --install
./configure
make
sudo make install
To install cpu-x:
git clone https://github.com/X0rg/CPU-X.git
cd CPU-X
mkdir build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
Then I could run:
sudo cpu-x
And the output shows the voltage:
