I have an Asus M4A78LT-M LE mobo.

I am using sensors and conky to display the hw temps on my desktop.

The problem I am having is, the devices I am using keep moving.

I have to edit the .conkyrc file each time I boot.

Does anyone have experience of sensors, conky and this mobo?

My .conkyrc file is:


background no

The parts giving me a problem are those using: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX

Both /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0 and /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1 are present. Sometime 0 is in use, sometimes 1 is in use.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
