and look for acpi on both.

In fact ACPI seems to replace the old sensors stuff, and is likely
generally more reliable since it reports in standardized temperature
units arrived at by the BIOS rather than the raw unscaled numbers from
the sensor chip (the interpretation of whose nonlinear characteristics
and absolute temperature is a guesstimate by sensors).

cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature

(THM may well be different on your machine since it comes from an ACPI
table in the BIOS AIUI)
