Good morning gurus,
I would like to get recommendation for monitoring temperature for cpu using Asus P5WD2 motherboard and Intel D 820. I my installation has CPU cooling system changed from Intel bulk to Zalman CNPS9500 and it works. Normal Intel cooling system is not enough and is overheating cpu quite badly. Unfortunately Zalman has to be controlled (rpms) manually and thus I would like to see the temperature.
Which program is doing well this task ?
Regards, Kari

Kari,
If you are running X, gkrellm has temperature "builtins", and requires lm_sensors configuration as, I suppose, is documented in the above links.
gkrellm will also readout the RPMs for the fans.

Thank You Sirs of Your kind answers. Only problem is that I can also use Google and I can look what is included in CentOS 4.2 (updated). That's why I specified motherboard (and of course forget to define chipset which is Intel 955X/ICH7R.
Discussion: 1) lm_sensors in CentOS 4.2 is old 2.8.7, at the moment 2.10.0 and recommended kernel is >= 2.6.11 !
2) sensor-detect doesn't find any sensors, message ; "Sorry, no chips were detected. Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support. See doc/FAQ, doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html, or http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html (FAQ #4.24.3) for further information. If you find out what chips are on your board, see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/newdrivers.html for driver status."
3) I tried to compile according to guidelines fro documentation, message # make user "make: *** No rule to make target `sysfs/libsysfs.h', needed by `lib/sysfs.ad'. Stop." Now I'm a little confused from which library ? Where should I find this sysfs/libsysfs.h No big deal !
Conclusions:
My motherboard and chipset are too new for lm_sensors in CentOS 4.2. I'll just wait and see if there will be an updated version someday. (See some other thread of Sata drives and monitoring in this mailing list)
Thanks of Your attention ! Kari
DId you try mbmon (and/Or xmbmon)?

Hi Eduardo,
Yes, thanks. Unfortunately without luck. Situation is the same, no support for the chipset. I tested it by using also those utilities. They show that there is 11 SBMbus candidates. I've to read documentation more. Actually mbmon could be easier to make a new monitor, I'll try it later and contribute something for the community (I'm involved already in 3 big FOSS projects, so the time, the time).
It's funny that these new chipsets (ICH7R) are not supported due they are used in such mainboards/processor combinations which produce more heat problems than the oldies.
Regards, Kari
