When you first run the application you'll notice an interface similar to CrystalDiskMark, with 4 disk benchmarking tests, each with read and write columns. It's also worth noting that even though the latest KDiskMark version at the time I'm writing this article is 1.6.2, the application is quite new, having its initial release in the beginning of July 2020. The application can also generate benchmark reports ( File -> Save) that you can use to easily share the benchmark results with others, and for future comparisons.ĭespite its name (starting with K), this Qt5 application does not have any KDE-specific dependencies, so you can install it no matter what desktop environment you're using without having to install a large number of dependencies. Under the hood, it uses FIO (Flexible I/O Tester), and it features configurable block size, queues, and threads count for each test. KDiskMark comes with a simple user interface, very similar to the one used by CrystalDiskMark, with presets. Chart values over time for troubleshooting.KDiskMark is a free and open source alternative to CrystalDiskMark (which is Windows only) for Linux, a GUI HDD / SSD benchmarking software.Adjust and fix incorrect temperature readings on sensors.Set custom min/max fan RPMs based on sensor values.
Read any sensor with voltages, temperatures, or fans.System tray icon with real-time information.Unfortunately, Speedfan hasn't received an update in many years at this point, but it's still a competent hardware monitoring tool. What's nice is that SpeedFan also has features for monitoring temperature, so it's like a 2-in-1 app- just not as advanced as the others above. Of the many ways to silence noisy laptop fans, the easiest is to use SpeedFan to control fan revolutions per minute (RPM) manually. It's one of the reasons we suggest investing in a proper laptop cooling mat. A hard-working fan wears out faster, but more importantly, fast-spinning fans are loud. In addition to potential hardware damage, high system temperatures are problematic because they cause your laptop's fans to work overtime.
