lm_sensors is a tool/driver for monitoring CPU/Motherboard temperature, fan speeds, voltage information, etc.
How to set it up
Warning
Installing (not only running) lm_sensors can cause your computer to spontaneously switch off days later. See lm sensors problems.
Quick Recipe
- Have the package lm_sensors installed as described under installing software.
- Set it up
sensors-detect sensors -s /etc/init.d/lm_sensors restart
- Test it like this
