Folding Forum

Yo peoples,

I just finished my dedicated Q6600 rig, and overclocked it to 3.0ghz . I was wondering if there is a way to monitor CPU temps while my computer was folding. I use NotFred's, and since it is a bare bones linux distro, it's not like I can download CoreTemp or anything. The computer is connected to my router via an ethernet cable.

Is there any way for the folding rig to send hourly reports using the default mobo software to my main computer about the CPU temp? Or software that can detect the CPU temp over a LAN?

I've tried googling but to no avail.

Cheers

I don't know if you can monitor over the LAN, but if you can connect to the machine using SSH (I hope notfred's has a SSH server built in) and use "sensors" command ...

How would I go about doing that?

On a linux computer you would open the terminal window and then type the following command
"ssh(user@ip-address_of_computer_monitor)"
example
ssh shadow@192.168.0.150

then you would enter you users password when prompt for it

then when logged in type
"sensors"

On a windows computer download the Putty ssh client
Then set it up with the ip address of the computer you want to monitor and select the ssh protocol and for easy use later save the profile and then and connect to the computer and log in with your user and password
after you log in you can then use the sensors command again to check the temps.
