Theoretically there could be 4 temps for one physical CPU. Two for each core * 2 
= 4. And because your CPU is dualcore, and your CPU supports only 1 
temperature/core so you see two of them ;) I hope I clarified that.

So all in all, this works fine. Lets check the i2c bus related problem. And wait 
for some logs from you ;)
