HI Friends,

I have installed ubuntu as the server, it get turn off when its twmperature is high . can you tell me how can I measure its temperature and control it?

There's a few pieces of software that can be used to monitor temperatures.

HWMonitor and RealTemp are popular ones. However, I'm unsure if the software will work for servers, and even more unsure if Ubuntu or anything other than Windows is supported.

Which is why I did quite clearly write: "However, I'm unsure if the software will work for servers, and even more unsure if Ubuntu or anything other than Windows is supported."

You can view CPU temperature in Ubuntu System Monitor or whatever, I don't remember what it's called.
