Also,

  1. If you’re running KDE, there are a ton of widgets created that will display various system metrics, including CPU temperature (simply rt-click an empty space on your Desktop, select “Unlock Widgets” then “Add Widgets” A ribbon panel will appear at the bottom of the display, browse and drag whatever you want on to the Desktop.

  2. If you’re running on any kind of Enterprise hardware, you can install hardware OEM management tools. HP provides SUSE rpms, I’d expect other major manufacturers like Dell should, too.

Since I don’t need to monitor my CPU temp <all> the time, sensors works fine for me to do spot checks. Note that you can also use OEM tools to monitor GPU (eg nVidia rpms) and there is an nVidia KDE widget.
