I feel yer pain.. Don't know about gui tools (except there are some), but.. ..you can try running sensors The complication is that it may not have gotten itself configured correctly to talk to your hardware. The configuration (if it needs it) is helped via a utility sensors-detect And it _seem_ smart enough that accepting defaults to everything just works. YMMV, of course.
