I don't know if it's good or what you want, but I use gkrellm
relies on lm_sensors according to the homepage. (and sys_fs, AFAIK lm_sensors picks up sys_fs if it's available.)
I'm having the same problems with lm_sensors with newer motherboards (ones from the last two years), some work, some don't. On some AMD motherboards it helps to "rmmod k8temp" to get a reading. On some it doesn't. I have one Intel board with I think Intel 5000X where lm_sensors also fails with a message like "no sys_fs" or so, I don't really remember. Do others know any tricks to get the data nevertheless? I think the kernel and lm_sensors on Centos 5 are simply too old for some chipsets. Also, there's sometimes a discrepancy between the support in the kernel and in lm_sensors.
