Hi
Install and use lm_sensors - Hardware monitoring tools.

Example for Fedora/CentOS/RHEL/SL users:
Code:
# yum install lm_sensors
# service lm_sensors start
# sensors

Adapter: ACPI interface
Vcore Voltage:       +1.14 V  (min =  +0.80 V, max =  +1.60 V)
 +3.3 Voltage:       +3.36 V  (min =  +2.97 V, max =  +3.63 V)
 +5 Voltage:         +5.14 V  (min =  +4.50 V, max =  +5.50 V)
 +12 Voltage:       +12.38 V  (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V)
CPU FAN Speed:       897 RPM  (min =  600 RPM)
