Which of the below is my CPU temperature

Question

Goal

Measure the CPU temperature of my Linux Box.

Work done till now

I have installed lm-sensors to detect the temperature and below is the output of the command sensor:

root@XXXX-XX :# sensors

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +66.0°C  (crit = +255.0°C)

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +65.4°C  (high = +70.0°C)
                       (crit = +100.0°C, hyst = +99.0°C)

radeon-pci-0008
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +64.0°C  (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C)

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:            N/A  (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C)

The output of the cat /proc/cpuinfo is:

Question

Out of the above readings from command sensor and cat /proc/cpuinfo, I am not sure which is exactly my cpu temperature in the output of sensors and what is the one to one relation between the output of both the commands (ie: which field (ie:output of sensor) matches with the field of cat /proc/cpuinfo).

Answer 1

Your cpu temperature is shown by the k10 sensor, but beware it is assumed to be inaccurate.
