My system temp

im running redhat 7.3 and wondered if theres any way i can view the system temp,

i saw these values in the bios on bootup;


Motherboard temp: 33 oC / 91 oF
CPU temp : 50 oC / 122 oF

CPU fan speed : 4647 RPM

(i run a server and its getting hot so i want to keep an eye on it)

So is there a way to view these values other than in the bios,
or a small app or shell script that could do the job,

Thx all,
James

eww... not a homebrew :-) humph... I've never heard of a mobo with no manufacturer boasting. Do you see anything at startup? Look in BIOS for a name. You may even be able to see it listed in a lin hardware listing like in KDE's configuration app. Look for a serial number maybe? If all else fails, ask the dude(s)(ette(s)) you got it from. If nothing still... well you may want to question the legality of your parts :-) HTH

ummm strider;

quoted from the site you said,

"Operating Systems: Runs on Windows 95/98/Me, NT 4, Windows 2000 and XP"

(were in a 'alternative' room, not on windows (thank god) im afraid, so that software wouldnt help)

(and looking back, i did mention that im on linux)

Find a compnurse - hardware probe - it's faster and more reliable than software and it doesn't care about operating systems nor does it care about board manufacturer - and it cost not more than 10 usd...

To check your mainboards manufacturer take a look here - and then you just post back with that line on yours - that's all.
