I have a Mini-ITX board with an onboard Intel Atom N270. It's a fanless system and getting very hot, so I want to monitor the temperature, but lm-sensors is always reporting the same values:
> sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +40.0°C (crit = +75.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +33.0°C (crit = +90.0°C)
In BIOS I can see the temperatures, but yeah, I want to monitor them while the system is running.
Is lm-sensors the wrong tool for my system? Is there another, better tool for Debian?
Maybe this helps?
