Hardware Sensors

[assettt]

I'm thinking of overclocking my cpu a touch but would like to have some sort of monitor display the hardware charcteristics, mainly cpu temperature, fans speeds, ram speed/temperature, etc. I found the Xsensors on the repo's and installed it but whenever i run it it fails with a message
code: xsensors
Error opening config file: /etc/sensors.conf
Use -c option to specify location of lm_sensors configuration file.

Any clues out there to what this means.

Maybe these help:

- Topic: Help me with sensors. please
- Topic: Lm-sensors?

Re: Hardware Sensors

Thanks for that Rog131. It works but unfortunately all it manages to give me are the cpu sensors.

Re: Hardware Sensors

Install the package hddtemp and then run sensors-detect again, and maybe you'll add the hard drive temperature to the cpu information.
