What are the best softwares to show the temperatures of my hardware?

[xp15]

I use PSensor it's been great

its really a nice program-but it doesn't want to run well on this laptop.
you can see in the picture i've posted.

Your temperatures are not 100C, 100C is the "critical" value that is considered too high. You can adjust your laptop to shutdown should it reach critical temperature, which will prevent damage.

In actuality, you are not getting any reading from any sensors. Run the following command:

sudo sensors-detect

this will look for available sensors. If you still get no reading afterwards, it will be due to bad sensors or kernel bug.

Well, here is the output a bit long, but I colored any line that asked me Yes or No.
I answered all question yes. here the output:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo sensors-detect
    # sensors-detect revision 5984 (2011-07-10 21:22:53 +0200)
    # System: Dell Inc. Studio 1537 (laptop)
    # Board: Dell Inc. 0P171H


    This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
    to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
    and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
    unless you know what you're doing.


    Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
    Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): y
    Module cpuid loaded successfully.
    Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
    VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
    VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No

    Intel digital thermal sensor... Success!
    (driver `coretemp')
    Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
    VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
    VIA Nano thermal sensor... No


    Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
    standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
    Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): y
    Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
    Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
    Trying family `SMSC'... No

    Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... Yes
    Found `ITE IT8512E/F/G Super IO'
    (but not activated)


    Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
    We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
    safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
    ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no): y
    Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
    Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
    Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
    Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No


    Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
    monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
    reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
    on some systems.
    Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): y
    Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel ICH9
    Module i2c-i801 loaded successfully.
    Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.


    Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus 0x90 (i2c-0)

    (confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)


    Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus 0x91 (i2c-1)
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y


    Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus 0x92 (i2c-2)
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y


    Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus 0x93 (i2c-3)
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y


    Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus 0x14 (i2c-4)
    Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
    y


    Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
    Just press ENTER to continue:
    Driver `coretemp':
    * Chip `Intel digital thermal sensor' (confidence: 9)


    To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
    #----cut here----
    # Chip drivers
    coretemp
    #----cut here----
    If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
    contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!


    Do you want to add these lines automatically to /etc/modules? (yes/NO)y
    Successful!


    Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are
    loaded. You may want to run 'service module-init-tools start'
    to load them.


    Unloading i2c-dev... OK
    Unloading i2c-i801... OK
    Unloading cpuid... OK

Now you can either type:

sudo service module-init-tools start
sensors

or you can reboot and try

sensors

again.

I run the first two commands. that is the output now, but seems to miss some other important information from other sensors:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo service module-init-tools start
module-init-tools stop/waiting
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +0.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
temp2: +0.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
temp3: +0.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)


coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +32.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +30.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

and Thanks you for helping me.

The ACPI is giving you some bug, my guess is that this is due to many laptops not following the ACPI standards. Anyway, you are reading 32C for your CPU, which is perfectly normal and healthy temperature.

Psensors should get this reading now and you can have it run in the Unity panel to keep an eye on it.

at first I got core1 and 2 temp', then the computer has shutdown again and after that i got more data from more sensors:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +46.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
temp2:        +46.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)
temp3:        +65.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)


coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +42.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1:       +42.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

and in Psensor:



so, it seems the temp' is causing the shutings-down. but is there a way so i will be able to know which hardware component is belong to each temp' instead of temp1,2,3... ?

Thank for your help (:
