Avinash Ga Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hi, I want to monitor the temperature of my Orange Pi PC's during some operation. When i login it shows the temperature. How to check the temperature after login? Regards, -- Avinash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 CPU or HDD ? or Outside ? might be a good idea to be a bit specific 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkaiser Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I want to monitor the temperature of my Orange Pi PC's during some operation. When i login it shows the temperature. How to check the temperature after login? If you use the most recent image for H3 boards then the SoC temperature is available as /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp otherwise have a look into /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp And you can also do monitoring by starting 'armbianmonitor -m' which shows relevant system parameters including CPU clockspeeds and temperature. Looks then like this: https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/pull/3#issuecomment-194980231 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Ga Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks @tkaiser. armbianmonitor is very useful and that does the job. Thanks @toast i was talking about SOC temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkaiser Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Of course it gets even better, you can install a whole RPi-Monitor instance simply by doing a 'sudo armbianmonitor -r' with the version you have: http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/03/17/rpi-monitor-is-a-web-based-remote-monitor-for-arm-development-boards-such-as-raspberry-pi-and-orange-pi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Edwards Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 That is so Kool. but is does lead me to question is a CPU core temperature of 62 degrees too hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuti Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 That is so Kool. but is does lead me to question is a CPU core temperature of 62 degrees too hot? Yes, the Orange Pi normally run hot, but is normal and using a passive heatsink is enough to keep temperature in a reasonable range. These are recommended by @tkaiser https://es.aliexpress.com/item/10PCS-Lot-Computer-Xbox360-PS-VGA-Graphics-Card-DDR-RAM-Video-Memory-Cooling-Cooler-Aluminum-Heatsink/32229488356.html?detailNewVersion=&categoryId=708041 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Edwards Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thanks those heats look like they should perform well with the increased surface area. I just ordered 20! Sent from my SM-T815Y using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frownbreaker Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks tkaiser RPi-Monitor is amazing also props to manuti for the post about the tkaiser approved heatsinks - Will order these Just moved to Armbian and am so impressed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njrussell Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I recently bought the orange pi lite board. I purchased the heatsinks at the link below that were made for a raspberry pi. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DLQIMPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The larger one fits perfectly on the h3. The ram chip heat sink will fit but does not cover the entire ram chip. With the heatsink just sitting on top of the processor with no fan, with the board completely air exposed in a room approx 72 degrees, the orange pi indicates the processor temperature is 44C. With a cooling fan placed near by, with moderate air movement, the processor temp falls to 24-26C. Both methods cat /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp and cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp work great on the orange pi lite running armbian version 5.25 I am very pleased with armbians performance on this board. Runs reliably and stable. Have had it connected for approximately 20+days with no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
