現在購買主機板時都會有廠商提供的監控軟體可以使用，而最常使用到到功能像溫度監控，系統狀態等等，但是這些軟體都只能在windows下使用，所以如果要在Linux下監控CPU溫度，可以透過lm-sensor這套軟體來監控。
安裝環境：
Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS
安裝步驟：
1.安裝lm-sensors
# apt-get install lm-sensors
2.設定監控選項
# sensors-detect
通常都是回答yes即可，注意最後一項，例如下面的資訊
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter
i2c-i801
# Chip drivers
# no driver for Winbond W83L785R/G yet
lm85
#----cut here----
3.出現如上訊息後，載入模組
例如我的是i2c-i801與lm85
# modprobe i2c-i801
# modprobe lm85
4.之後再輸入：
# sensors
5.就會出現cpu溫度之類的監控訊息。
