The lm_sensors package is likely what you want.
After installing it you want to run sensors_detect to find your hardware
and then sensors can be used to display the current values. I am not sure
if there is a tool that will regularly monitor theese values, keeping history
and warning you when values are out of range.

Make sure you test this under load. The computer will draw more power when
you are compiling things or the like as opposed to being mostly idle.
