Working from the certainty that an infinite number of monkeys on typewriters could write Shakespeare sooner or later, I have taken some of their output concerning conky and cpu temperature (found by the Bard Google), and by trial and many errors, randomly found a Temp-cpu widget config "Text" line that gives me a dual core display on this HP desktop's pwidgets.
Those with nothing to lose may wish to blindly follow my one-eyed efforts......
Firstly, you need to install a lmsensors.pet as the Widgets conky doesn't seem to have this.
Secondly, run 'sensors' in a terminal to check it runs and to see what cpu/core temperatures you could expect from your computer.
Thirdly, edit your existing temp-cpu config file replacing the 'TEXT' lines as below or just replace the config file with this:
Attached for those with young eyes is a desktop shot showing the lmsensors output as well as the Temp-cpu widget in its current form in the centre of the widgets (yellow text temps). 01micko's pmcputemp (version 0.6) is also shown on the task-bar.#this is a Pwidgets config file
#the actual building of the graphics is defined in bottom of this file, - after 'TEXT'.

It would be nice to get all three 'sensor'-reported temps in the widget - I would probably need to understand what a "grep" is and how to "cut" just the bits needed, or even how to optionally add the 'critical' values from the sensors display.
