urpmi lm_sensors

It requires a bit of configuration and a 'front end' (there are many to choose
from) but it works quite nicely.

Do a google search for lm_sensors

you don´t say whether you want a cli or a gui, nor which gui if the latter, 
but:

All require lm_sensors, liblm_sensors

then run sensors-detect

make sure the modules.conf is kosher

check /etc/sysconfig for the lm_sensors file (I don´t believe you need to 
append the output of sensors-detect to any rc. file, as 
/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors takes care of this

run  sensors, and then maybe tweak the alarms and what´s reported (YMMV)

For Graphical front-ends:

gkrellm has a sensors module (hint - get texstar´s)
ksensors if you´re using kde
