Hi,

Are there any good motherboard monitors (CPU temp, MB temp, fan speed
etc.) for linux?

I'm running debian unstable.

Thanks for any pointers

There is only one for Linux I know of: "lm_sensors". Google for it and
install it, being sure you read the documentation. It is not exactly a
press and go type install!

Thanx, that looks like what I need. I'll give it a shot.

No need for that: he's running Debian. 'apt-get install lm-sensors' will
do the job. You will need modules foe 2.5 kernels.

lm-sensors - Utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors
ksensors - lm-sensors frontend for KDE
sensord - Hardware sensor information logging daemon
wmsensors - WindowMaker dock applet for lmsensors
xsensors - A hardware health information viewer

It definately is not.
It takes a while to configure it and I am still not sure mine is right. It
does make reports like this:

Thu Jul 22 15:30:00 EDT 2004
w83627hf-isa-0290
VCore 1: +1.44 V (min = +1.34 V, max = +1.47 V)
VCore 2: +3.31 V (min = +3.13 V, max = +3.45 V)
+3.3V: +3.24 V (min = +3.20 V, max = +3.45 V)
+5V: +4.99 V (min = +4.84 V, max = +5.24 V)
+12V: +11.89 V (min = +11.48 V, max = +12.58 V)
-12V: -11.83 V (min = -13.11 V, max = -11.41 V)
V5SB: +5.43 V (min = +4.84 V, max = +5.24 V)
VBat: +3.24 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +3.60 V)
CPU0 fan: 8653 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)
CPU1 fan: 5818 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)
System: +49C (limit = +45C, hysteresis = +42C) sensor = thermistor
CPU0: +51.0C (limit = +65C, hysteresis = +60C) sensor = thermistor
CPU1: +50.0C (limit = +65C, hysteresis = +60C) sensor = thermistor
vid: +1.400 V
alarms: Chassis intrusion detection ALARM
beep_enable:
Sound alarm enabled

which is a bit disappointing since 6 of my fans have tachometers in them
and the BIOS can report all 6, but the lm_sensors and sensors program
report only 2. I do not know how to get it to report on the other 4.
