New install of Quirky-7.0.3 (32 bit version) produced a pink icon reading around 62C.
Running your script to see full temperature details:
The task-bar value (62C) looks like it is the third one in the listing of values which, using the "_label" lines (= Core x) as reference points, means it is the devices/pci temp1_input.# find /sys -type f -name 'temp*'

The Core 0 and 1 temp_inputs ('platform') are 40C and 34C by the same reckoning.
How do I find out which or what are these three 'temp_inputs', and which is most important regarding excessive heating? Intel spec. sheet of the cpu, for example?
