MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature class not showing actual temperature

by

In https://web.archive.org/web/20150911113852/http://www.scriptinternals.com/new/us/support/Internal/WMI_MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature.htm I’ve found that CurrentTemperature returns temperature at some thermal zone which is somewhere on motherboard. That means it returns not CPU temperature.
It would be the same as temperature in the kitchen is 30C but stove is 200C or so…
This way cannot show exact temperature of CPU. To get the exact temperature of CPU (and every core) you need to write kernel drivers, what is much more complicated.

All-in-all your code does that it should do, for taking temperature you need to use some other way.
