xmbmon
xmbmon is a monitoring program for motherboards which can monitor the CPU temperatures and the frequency of CPU cooling fans, etc. The package includes "mbmon", which can be used at the commandline to report the temperatures, voltages, and RPM (rounds per minute) of the fans, and "xmbmon", which displays the three temperatures and a core voltage as simple curves.

Recent commentsThis is such an awesome little program
I've been wrestling with kernel patches for lm_sensors for a couple of years now, and I guess I was just convinced that we needed kernel support for reading temperature, fan speeds and voltages from our motherboards.
How untrue! mbmon and xmbmon are a trivial ./configure ; make away, and they do *exactly* what I need, which is producing readings in a simple text-based format. It is definitely one of the more undersung bits of software available for Linux -- don't miss it!
