Am I correct that for my double core I add the left 2 readings for core 
0 temp and the next two for core 1? (the preference settings indicate 2 
for core 0 and 2 more for core 1) As far as accuracy, this version seems 
more accurate in that the one in F 10 was reading a total of 80F for 
core 0 and a total of 75F for core 1. This one normally reads total for 
0 of 120F and total for 1 of 130F. My concern was I noticed all 4 icons 
went from blue to orange with readings of each between 95F - 102F giving 
a grand total of 400F for all 4 readings. I hadn't noticed it running 
that hot except when my wifey decided that the AC was too low and raised 
it to 80F.
