sensors for k10 motherboard 78lmt

What is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
Linux west-xubuntu 4.4.0-119-generic #143~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 2 18:04:36 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

We have a similar output on several systems with lmsensors installed. It reports:

~/$ sensors
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +36.0°C

However we have the Xfce4 sensors plugin active:

~/$ sudo dpkg-query -l | grep 'sensors'
ii libsensors3
ii libsensors4
ii lm-sensors
ii xfce4-sensors-plugin
ii xsensors

With that plugin on the task bar we can configure and display types: k10-temp-c3 for CPU temperature and hard disks for all attached disks. Power control is sometimes possible or via the CLI tool (sensors).

Managing fan speeds is an entirely different thing. We never got it to work consistently across different hardware and GNU/Linux distributions. Sometimes it just doesn't work.

I have xfce sensors plugin but it has limitations

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +15.2°C
which is colder than the room the computer is in

#sudo sensors
fam15h_power-pci-00c4
Adapter: PCI adapter
power1: 43.80 W (crit = 94.99 W)
but the plugin does not show any options for
fam15h_power-pci-00c4

Galen, you can change the compute base for your chipset in /etc/sensors.conf; try cat /etc/sensors.conf | grep -v '#' | less for a quick overview and find your chipset plus compute values.

thanks
/etc/sensors3.conf

You're welcome!
