Temperature chip?

When I recieved my computer, I was told that it had a chip inside that could tell if it is overheating. Is there some sort of application that I can get that can tell me if it is overheating? I looked in my hardware listings, but I don't even know which listing would be the thermometer. I count four fans inside, but I live in a warm climate, so I am concerned.

I used to use lm_sensors for that, but I think there are modules for many of those chips built into the vanilla kernel now, so I enabled those for my chip and monitor them with a krell in GKrellM.
