Hi, you can try lm-sensors. Then you'll have `sensors` command which will (should) dump the temperature information and other stuff. Be advised however that it requires some knowledge (the chipset of your sensor), a bit of setup, starting with running `sensors-detect` script, and it may end with tweaking some constants in sensors configuration file if the temperatures will have an improper bias. But I'm not saying you will have to do it :)

By the way, this topic has been addressed several times before in this forum, and at least once quite recently.
