I don't know about Conky, but in the past I'm used sensors(1) from the
lm-sensors package. It's old and not properly configured on this
machine, but it tries to show things like
it87-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1: +1.58 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
VCore 2: +2.51 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+3.3V: +3.23 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.08 V)
+5V: +3.47 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V)
+12V: +5.38 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V)
-12V: -15.21 V (min = -27.36 V, max = +3.93 V)
-5V: -7.27 V (min = -13.64 V, max = +4.03 V)
Stdby: +2.69 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +6.85 V)
VBat: +3.18 V
fan1: 3924 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 8)
M/B Temp: +40.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +75.0°C) sensor =
transistor
CPU Temp: +41.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +75.0°C) sensor =
transistor
Temp3: +35.0°C (low = +127.0°C, high = +75.0°C) sensor =
transistor
Once lm-sensors is thrown into Google I get search results including
http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/127/how-to-control-fan-speed-lm-sensors-in-ubuntu
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_Speed_Control
and others. Perhaps that'll help.
Cheers,
Ralph.
