mobo and CPU temp app


Is there a good Linux application that can monitor and tell you the CPU + motherboard temperature?

gkrellm is just a gui front-end for lm_sensors, it doesn't monitor your temperatures directly. you'll need both if you want to use gkrellm to view your hardware sensors.

I finally got lm_sensors working. Took a little while. Question though: What is the -12V and the -5V volts when you run "sensors"? I know the +3.3V, +5V, +12V are the voltages for your power supply and it should always be right at that number.

Don't worry about the negative voltages. The voltage is measured from the ground to the signal instead of the other way around. The following websire might be of help: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/power/sup...oltages-c.html
