wmthermistor
This will show a graph of the temperatures of the thermal sensors (thermistors) of your motherboard. wmthermistor reads the temperatures direct from the /proc filesystem, from the w83781d module. You may edit 3 lines on the source to make it work with other modules (it is commented inside the source).
Features
- WindowMaker dockable
- Monitors temperatures

Building Your Own Thermal Probe
If you own like me an Asus K7-M motherboard, or some other motherboard which does not come with all thermal probes, this is for you.
My motherboard comes only with a built in thermal probe, witch measures its own temperature. But it has two more connectors for extra probes. The manual says to buy it.
However, it is almost impossible to find this probes in stores, even for those who live in the USA, as I read some reports.
The solution is to build your own. The thermal probe is simply a thermistor, which is resistor that changes its own resistivity according to the temperature. You should buy a thermistor with this specification: 10k ohms at 25oC, with a good precision. I bought a 10% precision that works fine for me.
Even the thermistor is very very hard to find. You should look at electronics components stores.
