Motherboard Monitoring

January 29, 2003 | My Projects | By: Mark VandeWettering

Modern motherboards kick ass. They have all sorts of temperature sensors that can tell you what the current temperatures, fans and voltages are. I’ve had a simple monitoring gadget in the FreeBSD ports collection called healthd installed for a while, and finally got down to making
a tiny PHP program that inserted the relevant info into this hope page. Check out
Server Info on the right.

Eventually I’ll have to get it to keep track of the temps via graphs.

I’m sorely tempted to sit here and hit the reload button repeatedly, just to hopefully watch your CPU temperature go up 🙂
