$sensors output is:
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp: +38.0'C
/proc/acpi$ acpi -V gives me:
Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 0
so maybe my system is not acpi compatible.
My current line in ~/.conkyrc for temp, which doesn't work, it shows 0 degrees is:
${color grey}CPU Temp:$color ${acpitemp}${color grey} Celcius
How can I use core0 Temp from sensors for conky??. Don't have "i2c" or other things like that which I've seen on other posts, rather nothing in i2c.
Thx for any ideas

Oh I'm sure it is compatible. Not knowing Arch Linux and/or you machine and not being a geek either I'm at a loss except for one thing.
It seems on every "distro" that has conky threads send people to:
Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots on the Ubuntu Forums. With 645 pages it's HUGE! I know there at least 5 people there that use Arch. Go to the last page and pop in a question, 10 to 1 you get a response within an hour.
If I knew more I would help but I had to ask for help myself and this line, displaying CPU Temp, Core Temp M/B Temp and GPU Temp, was the result:
Code:
${font DejaVu Sans Mono:bold:size=9}${color3}CPU: ${color5}${execpi 8 sensors | grep 'CPU Temp' | cut --characters 15-16 | xargs ~/Conky/scripts/ColorTempCPU.sh}°${color}${goto 65}${color3}Core: ${execpi 8 sensors | grep 'Core0' | cut --characters 15-16 | xargs ~/Conky/scripts/ColorTempCore.sh}°${color}${goto 135}${color3}M/B: ${execpi 8 sensors | grep 'M/B Temp' | cut --characters 15-16 | xargs ~/Conky/scripts/ColorTempMB.sh}°${color}${goto 200}${color3}GPU: ${execpi 8 sh -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp | grep Attribute | cut --characters 41-42" | xargs ~/Conky/scripts/ColorTempGPU.sh}°${font}
the trick is to know what to grep and where to cut.
Ask, trust me, you will get an answer, I did.
Have a nice day.
