Temp monitors


My box has severel tem monitors build in, including graphics card CPU MBo (i think) and HDD

in ksysguard i can se localhost/ACPI/Thermal Zone/THERM/Temperature
but 1 im not sure which component this is and it always reports 40°C regardles of wether my case is boiling or freezing inside

using hddtemp i can see my hdd temp in the command line but would like to have a monitor either as ksysguard or some desktop widget

how can i see the rest of my temps? esp graphiscs card and cpu as my cpu has been getting quite hot recently

indeed, but the only thing it can find to display is the stuck at 40°C THERM sensor...

I tried that ktemperature. It doesn't work without the dtd diced-toaster daemon running. Try as I might, I could not locate where to get that daemon from. I installed ksensors instead. Once installed you go to commandline and run (as root)
Code:
sensors-detect
Answer Yes to all questions (unless you know different) then there are a few commands to load the required modules that you need to put into an /etc/rc.* file (I put mine in /etc/rc.modules)
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# (c) Mandriva, Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandriva.com>
# $Id$
# description: launch modules specified in /etc/modules inspired by a
# Debian idea.

if modprobe -V 2> /dev/null | grep -q -m 1 module-init-tools; then
        MODULES=/etc/modprobe.preload
else
        MODULES=/etc/modules
fi
MODULES_D=$MODULES.d

for f in $MODULES $MODULES_D/*; do
 [ -f $f ] || continue
 # Loop over every line
 (cat $f; echo) | while read module args
 do
  case "$module" in
      \#*|"") continue ;;
  esac
  logger -t $0 "Loading module: $module"
  modprobe $module $args >/dev/null 2>&1
 done
done

# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-nforce2
# Chip drivers
modprobe asb100
modprobe w83l785ts
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
Restart your computer then configure ksensors from the desktop. I did notice that if you select intel cpu you get 40°C and 25°C for an amd cpu. Even so I've yet to see my cpu temp change, all other sensors change.

well ksensors seems to do the trick.....

the only thing i notice is i now have 3 temps just called temp 1 temp2 and temp 3
what thease are i have no idea...
there in the it8716 module,

i think 2 is my graphics card as it seems to be about right in temp,

no idea what 1 and 3 are but 3 fluctuates wildly,
anything from 40 to over 80 and back in a few seconds

also i cant find out how to get my hdd temp added to the display
i can tell it using hddtemp but ksensors cant see it

I didn't do anything special, my hard drive was in the list.
