When building GCC, it will scan all headers in /usr/include and apply
fixes to them, and then copy them and use the modified versions. Now a
binary distro (AFAIK) will ship the GCC modified headers, so there's no

Hello!
I have the same CPU and I can measure 4 temperatures: one comes from
the CPU and three from the motherboard.
AFAIK it is not possible to get an individual temperature reading per core.

Hi,
For my conky I setup the readout of /sys/class/hwmon*.
Under /sys/class/hwmon2/* I found six "files" which reflects

Conky only reports four temparatures, two remains "0".
