I actually try to get lm-sensors to work as I wish.And my only wish is to see how the cpu is doing.(Optional HDD's, FSB and I'm open your suggestions)  So I run Debian wheezy, and did aapt-get install lm-sensorsAfter that I did a sensors-detect.I said yes to all scans except the I2C/SMBus (because it says it is not safe and not because I know what I'm doing)And when I do sensors, this is what I get :Adapter: PCI adapter power1:      117.56 W  (crit = 124.95 W)k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1:        +12.9C  (high =+70.0C) (crit = +70.0C, hyst = +68.0C)My CPU is a AMD FX(tm)-8120 and i did not install any kind of drivers.(I looked in the internet but cannot find a equivalent method needed like in Windows)  EDIT:So why am I only seeing the 2 entries?One shows the Watt, I don't really need this.and the other is like 12,9C, this is quite unrealistic because I think i should be around 40-50 based on my experience.EDIT2:sensors-detect outputNow follows a summary of the probes I have just done.  Just press ENTER  to continue:   Driver fam15h_power' (autoloaded):    * ChipAMD Family 15h power sensors' (confidence: 9)Driver k10temp' (autoloaded):     * ChipAMD Family 15h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)No modules to load, skipping modules configuration.Unloading cpuid... OK
cannot set up lm-sensors propetly
