[Solved] Conky cpu temp config.

Question

I am trying to get conky to display my cpu temp from my Asus Sabertooth 990X motherboard.
[neil@sabertooth ~]$ sensors
fam15h_power-pci-00c4
Adapter: PCI adapter
power1: 11.99 W (crit = 95.04 W)

temp1: +6.8°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +90.0°C, hyst = +87.0°C)

Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +49.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C)

Adapter: ISA adapter
in0: +2.80 V (min = +2.00 V, max = +1.50 V) ALARM
in1: +2.86 V (min = +2.45 V, max = +2.99 V)
in2: +1.01 V (min = +3.05 V, max = +2.47 V) ALARM
+3.3V: +3.36 V (min = +0.36 V, max = +3.72 V)
in4: +0.65 V (min = +2.87 V, max = +2.77 V) ALARM
in5: +2.51 V (min = +2.84 V, max = +1.22 V) ALARM

fan3: 0 RPM (min = 11 RPM) ALARM
temp1: +33.0°C (low = -5.0°C, high = +127.0°C) sensor = thermistor
temp2: +29.0°C (low = -9.0°C, high = -6.0°C) sensor = thermistor
temp3: -128.0°C (low = -34.0°C, high = -66.0°C) sensor = disabled
intrusion0: OK
Conky config line at the moment;
${execi 60 sensors | grep "temp1:"} °C
gives me;
The problem is that there are 3x'temp1' possibilities.
I want to display this 'temp1';
temp1:        +33.0°C  (low  =  -5.0°C, high = +127.0°C)  sensor = thermistor
How do I set the cony config line to display this thermistor?

Answer 1

Thanks to some further input from the guys over at Archbang and some further research I found the solution (a) to remove the weird 'A' character;
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ut-solved/
So, in conky I had to change;
override_utf8_locale no
to
override_utf8_locale yes
And (b) just for reference, I now have two options for cpu temp;
CPU temp option1:$alignr${hwmon 4 temp 1}°C
CPU temp option2:$alignr${execi 10 sensors | grep ^temp1 | tail -n 1 |awk '{print $2}'}
Thanks for all the help everybody.
