Computer Temperature Monitor is a little applet for the GNOME desktop that shows the temperature of your computer CPU and disks on screen. It allows you to log temperatures to a file. You can set alarms to notify you when a tempertature is reached.

There are two ways in which I will show you how to monitor your temperature from your panel and/or using a screenlet. Both are incredibly simple to use and each have a very different look and different feel about them, but both tackle the same task.

he CPU inside your computer is a very complex bit of electronics that can probably do an awful lot of number crunching. All this mathematical muscle generates heat, though, and a hot processor isn’t a happy processor. Keeping an eye on your CPU temperature (and other temperatures in your system if you can) is a useful thing to do.

This document describes how to set up the light-weight Conky system monitor on Ubuntu 7.04. Conky is a desktop widget that is able to display most diverse information like CPU temperature, current used network-bandwith or anything you want. You can customize the whole layout including colors and fonts.

In just about any class or set of tutorials involving beginning programming, there's usually a problem or set of problems having to do with converting temperatures. Just about everyone has had to write a wee bit of code to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius or vice versa. That's not much of a chore.

You can see a graph which shows the usage of power over the time since it booted up (it depends on ur hardware support).

The temperature of your computer is a vital thing to keep track of - heat and computers don't mix very well. Unfortunately, Ubuntu doesn't setup your computer's sensors automatically; but you can follow these steps to enable the temperature sensors in your computer in Ubuntu, or any other version of Linux. While sensor-monitoring is somewhat hardware dependant, this guide will work for most users.

Conky is one of my favorite applications for all of my Linux distros. It is a light-weight system monitor (according to the project page) that can monitor many different aspects of your computer. You choose what to monitor and you choose where the monitor is displayed on your desktop through use of a configuration file - .conkyrc.

While it may not look like a computer, this armored baby is actually a high performing embedded Linux System: just take a look at it's environmental specs (high tech Liquid cooling yum!): Environmental Temperature Operating*: -30°C to +50°C Storage: -40°C to +85°C *Operating temperature range stated is for the liquid-cooled chassis. Humidity: 15-90% RH non-condensing
