First of course install lm-sensors. I use the ksensors interface, so that will come automatically if you use apt.

Then run this command as root: sensors-detect

Answer yes to all questions

Then after it's done, run this: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools

then run: update-modules

test by running sensors\

you should now see the correct output if your mobo supports sensors

more on it, slightly out of date, but as long as you know, it's fine.
