At least narrowed in the long run comparable values you can get by lm_sensors, if your motherboard has a sensor chip which is supported by that tool. "yum install lm_sensors" and run "sensors-detect".

Actually, sensors (lm_sensors) gives me mostly bogus values on all machines that I tried it recently, although I ran a successful sensors-detect. The only thing which seems to be correct are fan speeds. voltage and temperature are way off (if they were true the machine wouldn't start up at all or burnt to death). Is there anything I have to do after the sensors-detect run?
