output of sensors command

I can figure out what most of the output from sensors means, but can anyone tell me what the core 0 and core 1 nonsense is? It doesn’t make sense that the temperatures are so low, and they don’t go up much.

Here is the output from sensors:

System: +27.0°C (high = +85.0°C, hyst = +81.0°C)
(crit = +100.0°C, hyst = +96.0°C) sensor = transistor

Thanks for your help

If you have a dual cpu system, sensors is showing you the temperature of each individual processor core.

CPU 0 is the first. CPU 1 is the second, and you would have 2&3 for a quad-core machine. Sensors may be showing 2 readings for each because its not getting set up properly, or you need to edit its config file to fit your hardware.

What he is wondering is, the temperature is in the frigid zone.
There was one thread with the same output/problem in the old opensuseforums.net. I just don’t know if it can be easily located using the search. Not sure though if the thread was solve.

Thanks for the replys, sorry I couldn’t get back sooner.

It doesn’t make sense that the temp is so low. But if I use sensors -f, it seems I may be getting the core temperatures in Celsius.
