The default system monitor application that comes with KDE can do this. You will need to click the "edit page" button in the top right, and create a custom layout that shows all the sensors you want. Here is mine:
You can display the data using pie charts, text, line charts, etc.
Once you create your layout, you can even turn it into a widget that you can have on your desktop or drop into your taskbar.
Nice I had no idea, thanks for the tip
KDE's system monitor is absolutely great, I kinda missed it when switching to GNOME because their default system monitor is very lackluster. I'm now using Mission Center instead tho, which is great! It's basically an almost 1:1 copy of the Windows Task Manager but I think that's a good thing, Task Manager is one of the few things about Windows that are actually really good IMO.
That's a cool program thanks for the recommendation. ~~However, it's disappointing they don't have CPU temps on it.~~ Actually there are CPU temps, just missed it the first time I was looking at the program.
Are these dashboard exportable / importable at all? If so can you share you config files?
They are, though the sensors are hardware specific. So while I could export and send you this particular page, it likely won't show any temps and fan rpms, as the associated hardware wouldn't be there.
A lot of stuff does work though, like the application list and network graphs, so I could export it for you tomorrow if you like.
Or I could just explain more about how to configure it, it's really not that complicated. For a display item, you basically just need to pick a display mode (line graph is good for temps) and then add what sensors you want displayed in it. Everything else is just visual tweaks you don't have to touch.
