Is there a Gnome Pannel Applet or even just software, that supports a lot of mobos and sensors? I have a AMD Phenom x4 cpu with a Gigabyte Mobo and Nvidia 9600 GPU. I tried "Computer Temperature Monitor" all that could find is my HDD temp. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Open terminal and enter following lines:

sudo apt-get install sensors-applet
sudo sensors-detect
sudo reboot

Answer yes on all questions(it will install all dependencies and autoconfigure sensors). After rebooting right click gnome panel->add to panel->hardware sensors monitor. After that configure applet to display what you need.

Thank you. Unfortunately it did not grab the temperature of my CPU. But it did get it for my HDD and GPU. Anything else I can do to configure it? – thegreyspot Oct 30 '09 at 3:07
lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices according to this wiki devs dropped support for amd k10(phenom) – easyrider Oct 30 '09 at 4:12

If you're using Ubuntu, add Hardinfo in Ubuntu Software Centre. You will then find in Applications>System Tools a new item, System Profiler and Benchmark. Open this, and click on Sensors. This works on both AMD Phenom II x4 and x6.
