 Most new computers come with built-in temperature sensors as well as
 voltage sensors or fan speed sensors. Therefore you will probably only
 need the software to read it. You will have to download and compile
 the kernel modules you will find in:

 If you are using Debian there is a package (lm-sensors-source) which
 has all you need to build the modules.
 I have been using them with kernel 2.4.17 and Debian to avoid burning
 the CPU if a fan stopped. I can send you the scripts if you need them.
 Best regards,
