If you have an Intel Moterboard,there is a program in Windows called Intel Active Monitor that displays current temperature of the cabinet.It is also available in other motherboards like in MSI, but with its own application.
lmsensors are specific libraries for accessing sensors on the computer.Sensors are mostly located in CPU and some new motherboards.If a hard disk is SMART enabled,then its temperature can be retrieved too.
To get it working,download lmsensors from your Linux distribution repositories and the initiate 'sudo sensors' without quotes in terminal.It will ask for different questions step by step.Just type "y" and press enter between each questions.
lmsensors also adds all the recognised modules to the boot flag.Restart the computer,and if you use KDE,then add Temperature Monitor widget and start getting temperatures.
If you use Gnome,there is a similar applet called "GNOME Sensors Applet".
