-This describes my experiances with
[lmsensors], in particular installing it under Debian Woody
, on a Gigabyte 7VTXH
+The
[lmsensors] package allows you to check some vital statistics of your motherboard
, such as core voltage values
, temperature readings and fan speed monitoring. Almost all motherboards since the [Pentium]II era have had this built
on.
-LM Sensors is
a package that lets you get access to your
motherboard's voltage
, temperature
and fan speed monitoring
. Almost all motherboards since the P
-II era have had this built
on.
+For comparison, my 1.1GHz [Athlon] system has
a motherboard temperature of around 44 degrees Celsius and the [CPU] has a temperature of around 50 degrees Celsius on a warm spring
's day. (These might be a tad higher than most people would find acceptable(?)
, but I don't have any extra case fans, only a fan on the heatsink
and the [PSU]'s
fan)

LM Sensors are very dependent on your:
-* kernel
+* [Kernel]
* motherboard (both chipset and manafacturer)
-* distro
+* [Distribution|Category:Distribution]
This will require you to do nasty things to your machine, such as compile kernels, and possibly require you to get out a screwdriver to open up your machine to look at chips on the motherboard ! Not for the faint hearted !
I'm going to go over how I got it going on my motherboard, my kernel, and with Debian Woody. Add your experiances if they are different.
