I have the following in my i3status config file: order += "cpu_temperature 0" order += "cpu_temperature 1" and later on: cpu_temperature 0{ format = "%degrees °C" path="/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp2_input" max_threshold=75 } cpu_temperature 1{ format = "%degrees °C" path="/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp3_input" max_threshold=75 } When I go and check those paths myself and cat the files I get two different temperatures. If I compare those with the output of the "sensors" command, I see that these are indeed the temperatures of the two cores. However the i3status bar shows two identical temperatures corresponding to the first core. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

I can't recall if this happened after an update or an edit to the i3status.conf. By the way, I have the same lines as yours. cat-ing the values (taken straight from the i3status.conf) shows different values for each CPU as expected.Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:15:01 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4019/i3status-cannot-read-temperature-from-second-cpu/?comment=4033#comment-4033Answer by canu7 for <p>I have a laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo cpu.
