Proc, GPU, HDD Temp monitor

I am running Ubuntu 10.04. Can you guys tell me best software to monitor temperature of my GPU, Proc and HDD?
I also want to monitor clockspeed and VID of my proc.
i have a dell vostro 1510
Intel core 2 duo T5670 1.8GHZ
8400M GS 256MB
160GB 7200RPM Seagatte Hard disk

 

Install the sensors-applet and lm-sensors packages.

Code:

sudo apt-get install sensors-applet lm-sensors
pkill gnome-panel

Kill gnome-panel so that it reloads your list of applets, then click any blank space on your gnome panel and select Add to Panel... then select Hardware Sensors Monitor. Then right click on the applet and select Preferences and the Sensors tab to configure your sensors.

This will let you monitor your CPU and HDD temps, probably not your GPU. If it's an nVIDIA or ATi card you can use their proprietary driver configuration apps to see the GPU temp. You can use the sudo sensors-detect command to detect your sensors and then sensors to dump their info. Depending on the controllers in your system, you may be able to see your Vcore there. If your chipset isn't configured automagically, you can tweak /etc/sensors.conf and read man sensors.conf. Then run sudo sensors -s to try again.

To monitor frequency scaling, use cpufreq-applet from the gnome-applets package (installed by default), right click any empty space on your gnome-panel and add CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor. If it doesn't work automatically, make sure to load these modules with modprobe (and you can add them to /etc/modules so they load upon reboot):

Code:

freq_table
cpufreq_powersave
cpufreq_conservative
cpufreq_ondemand
cpufreq_usersapce
acpi_cpufreq

 

^^ I followed the first two commands and it got installed successfully. But i don't know how to kill gnome panel and add shortcut of lm sensors.
Can you tell me step by step? sorry i am new to ubuntu

 

to kill gnome panel:
press Alt+F2 key combination and type following to kill the process:
killall gnome-panel
It will immediately restart the panels,or you can run gnome-panel to start it.

once you have your gnome panel restarted..just do what allurgroceries said..
right click on your panel>add to panel and the add to panel window will include 'Hardware Sensors Monitor' with a computer chip icon, under Accessories. Click and drag it to the panel. Right-click on it and select properties to configure it.

hope this helps.

 

Yeah as 1ceBlu3 says... basically just right click anywhere that's blank space on the taskbar and select add to panel. Add Hardware Sensors and CPU Frequency scaling applets... then you can right click on them and configure each.

Thanks
