Re: sensors/temps question
Like you, I understand that the coretemp readings are taken from within each of dual cores in the CPU, while the ACPI readings are taken from sensors on the motherboard. My coretemps are usually lower than one of my two ACPI readouts (cores 35C, 34C, ACPI 39C 27C). This doesn't seem too odd to me, since the CPU has that big fan mounted directly on top.
If I max out both cores (two shells, each running yes>/dev/null), then the cores (56C 56C) are hotter than the ACPI temps (40C 43C). |

| Yup I am pretty sure its exactly as thompson42 says. On my system I always see at least a 5-6C difference in CPU vs core temperatures:
Sys Temp: +26.0°C (high = -104.0°C, hyst = -67.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp: +26.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = diode
AUX Temp: +26.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor
