I have simply achieved the objectives you set by installs of lm-sensors
and gkrellm which is a highly configurable gui.  

Being highly configurable you will prob need to spend 10 minutes or so
playing with its setup to get the results you want.  

Its a snack really and i encourage you to try this route so that until a
better solution occurs at least you have the ability to watch the temps
etc.
