I started to use lm_sensors to monitor my hardware. In particular, I want to monitor temperature and fan functionality.
The system has an Intel D865GBF ATX Mainboard, with a Pentium 4 3 GHz processor, 800 MHz FSB, 1 MB Cache.
sensors-detect went fine, it detected the LM85 sensor chip "lm85b-i2c-0-2e"; start of the lm_sensors service as well, then calling sensors got:
CPU_Fan: 2669 RPM (min = 4000 RPM) ALARM fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan4: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) CPU: +45 C (low = +10 C, high = +50 C) Board: +36 C (low = +10 C, high = +35 C) ALARM Remote: +37 C (low = +10 C, high = +35 C) ALARM
First, the lm_sensors site has a link to signing up for their mailing list. It is very interactive. You will get the best and fastest help there. Second, after you fiddle with /etc/sensors.conf (which contains a great deal of inline documentation itself), always do a sensors -s to load the new values.
