Aw i really wanted to use this one, it looks amazing but the python script to create the config didn’t work for me. Just spits out errors about being unable to open some file and int object having no replace attribute. 
I had a pretty decent conky before that was self made but I lost it when my filesystem got corrupted during a shrink a while back, can’t believe i forgot to back it up.

The reason I’m basing it off seamod is because when I want to set up a conky i generally like to have a base to work from, and seamod’s somehow the only one that always works for me, meanwhile most of the conky configs I tried copy pasting from this thread didn’t work at all.
Btw my cpu name is hardcoded, because I was lazy. Also because I care about efficiency, I don’t want conky to consume too much cpu, this setup is fairly efficient, I’m sure it could be optimized further but only by making it less pretty.
One cool feature though is that I make it show the actual CPU frequency next to the cpu name. This is actually useful to me too, but for most people it wouldn’t be i suppose.
