This is another quick tutorial (not made by me though) and it’s very useful if you want to accurately track temperatures and voltages.
There are some cool graphical frontends for lm-sensors but this one only covers GUI. You can use sensors-applet on Gnome or xsensors for any XWindows Desktop Enviroment. There are also xfce and KDE specific frontends (xfce-sensors and ksensors, respectively).
Have fun.

This is for using the temperature and voltage sensors on your motherboard?
Yes, the purpouse of lm-sensors is to use your motherboard sensors. lm-sensors is a CLI frontend for those who do not have a X Windows server (like me, since we’re talking about a server).
There are several graphical tools that make this process easier.
