Okay I have psensor installed, I installed lm-sensor and some other related packages, I ran sensors-detect and didn't come up with anything. It is only showing my HDDs, and my CPU usage not temperatures or anything like that.

Proc:

processor   : 3
vendor_id   : AuthenticAMD
cpu family  : 16
model       : 4
model name  : AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 920 Processor

Motherboard:

Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: GA-MA78GM-US2H

I'm pretty new to temperature sensors in linux, let alone fan sensors (which I would like too). What am I doing wrong?

Please read this: PSensors don't detect all sensors

Another webpage, more detailed: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-get-sensors-information/

The steps you should follow are:

  1. install lm-sensors and psensor
  2. run sudo sensors-detect
  3. run psensor, then in the menus:
    • in /preferences/startup, click the launch at startup.
    • in /sensor-preferences, edit the labels to match your system. you cannot delete a sensor, but you can choose not to display it.
