Hi all, what are you guys using to monitor temps in linux OS's?
Click to expand...

You need to install a kernel module/service called lm_sensors, and then configure it to recognize your motherboard/chipset using the sensors-detect program.

I then am just using xsensors and conky to monitor the temp.
 
there are a couple good ways to monitor core temperature in Linux. The first one is using ACPI support in the kernel.

You can check ACPI sensors with conky,gkrellm and by manually by looking for the temperature file in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/

use lm_sensors like the post above mentioned. conky allows monitoring of temps/voltages/fan speeds etc with either acpi or i2c. I use conky myself, here is a screenshot of it in use..


 
I like the inbound and outbound connections portion of your conky output. Would you mind posting your .conkyrc somewhere?
