kmod-coretemp

kmod-coretemp provides a backported coretemp sensor driver for reporting the CPU temperature for Intel Core series of processors. There is no coretemp driver present in EL5.3.

This driver is backported from the latest mainline kernel and requires lm_sensors >= 2.8.10 which is also found in ELRepo.

Sample output:
