btop PR submitted by @bexcran to stop reporting that Ampere CPUs are hotter than the surface of the Sun which is 5,500°C. Rebecca’s Ampere CPU temp is actually often lower than my outdoor ambient temperature here in Arizona where it gets up to 48°C.
fun fact, NASA says that “Sun” is capitalized when referring to ours but not when referring to any other sun such as you Proxima Centaurians, with your mere sun🤣

**Read the README.md and search for similar issues before posting a bug report!*… *
Any bug that can be solved by just reading the [prerequisites](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop#prerequisites) section of the README will likely be ignored.
**Describe the bug**
btop displays temperature of 8000 degC on AArch64 (Ampere Altra) Debian 12.
**To Reproduce**
Run btop. Look at the top right corner. Temperature is between 7000 and 8000. This appears to be the sum of the temperature of all the cores in the system (80).
**Expected behavior**
The temperature should be an average of the core temperatures, not a sum.
"sensors" shows the following values:
```
nvme-pci-50400
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite: +27.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +81.8°C)
(crit = +84.8°C)
Sensor 1: +27.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
Sensor 2: +35.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
nvme-pci-c0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite: +33.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +71.8°C)
(crit = +74.8°C)
Sensor 1: +47.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
Sensor 2: +35.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
apm_xgene-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
SoC Temperature: +38.0°C
CPU power: 7.72 W
IO power: 19.04 W
nvme-pci-d0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite: +39.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +79.8°C)
(crit = +86.8°C)
Sensor 1: +39.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
Sensor 2: +38.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
Sensor 3: +37.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

LOL - yeah, I’m on my Ampere system with Dual Q80-30 processors and btop is reporting 2372 degrees centigrade. On idle…

It’s fixed in btop 1.4.4!
