Core Temp Software For PC To Monitor CPU Temperature 1.17.1
1.22 MB (Safe & Secure)
Core Temp is a smaller, straightforward, small impression, yet incredible program to monitor processor temperature and other crucial information. It is fit for displaying the temperature of every individual core of each processor in your system! You can see temperature vacillations progressively with shifting workloads. Core Temp is also a motherboard rationalist. It is not difficult to utilize, while also empowering a significant degree of customization and expandability.
Core Temp is a high-level programming utility with an obvious reason: it screens the temperature of the PC’s CPU cores and can consequently control off the PC on the off chance that it gets excessively high, to secure the equipment by forestalling overheating. It is essentially situated toward power PC clients however not very hard to be sorted out by the less experienced ones.
Setting up Core Temp doesn’t consume most of the day. Notwithstanding, since it is advertisement upheld, it offers to download and introduce outsider parts that it doesn’t really have to work appropriately. They can be rejected from the arrangement notwithstanding on the off chance that you give a little consideration and don’t race through the wizard.
The interface doesn’t contain attractive elements however on account of a system observing device, it doesn’t need to. Core Temp is enclosed by a small window that shows the cycle information and temperature readings, empowering clients to choose a favored CPU core.
It also creates icons in the taskbar notifications area for each core to show its live temperature; they are intuitively color-coded to quickly determine the current safety level concerning temp overheating by just glancing in the bottom right corner of the screen, with the possibility to tweak font and colors used.
It is possible to enable balloon popups and make Core Temp flash in the taskbar, schedule an application to launch (EXE or BAT), as well as program the computer to sleep, hibernate or power off (with or without delay) on temperature overheating. All these settings may be restored to default.
You can view system information collected by Core Temp, reset the high and low temp readings, create a dump with all processor data and export it to a plain text document for closer examination and comparison with future dumps, as well as take a screenshot of the mainframe and save it to a PNG image for the same purposes. Core Temp’s window can be set to stay on top of other frames.

Core Temp Software FAQs
What Is Considered To Be A Safe Temperature For My Processor?
For processors with the “TjMax” value being shown in Core Temp it is usually considered best to keep the temperature 15-20C below that value when the processor is under full load. For chips that don’t provide a TjMax value, such as the AMD K8 family of chips, it’s best to keep the temps under 70C full load.

Should I Get The 32bit Or 64bit Version?
If you are not sure which version to get, my suggestion is to get the installer. It will install the correct files for your system, this way you don’t have to worry about it.
If you still prefer to download the standalone version then you can select the proper download the following way:
- If you have a 32bit OS, then the 32bit version is the only one that’s going to work.
- On a 64bit OS, both version will function, but since the 64bit version is native for the OS it should run faster – or more efficiently, and this is my recommendation.

Why Does My AMD Processor's Temperature Always Read 0C/32F?
On older processors based on the Athlon 64 core (K8), this is usually caused by a problematic thermal sensor in the processor, this is a pretty uncommon issue.
On CPUs starting with the Phenom architecture AMD has introduced the ACC function, it allowed the early Phenoms to achieve higher overclocks, and on the Phenom II-based processors it allowed unlocking of extra cores and L3 cache.

Why Does Core Temp Say That My Processor Is Not Supported?
Core Temp supports all AMD processors starting with the Athlon64 family. Intel processors are supported starting with the Core series. Pentium 4, D, M, and older processors do not have the required digital sensor integrated to allow Core Temp to properly function.

Why Does Core Temp Require Administrator Privileges To Run?
Core Temp requires direct access to hardware to be able to read temperature and other processor information. In Windows, you can only access hardware using a kernel-mode driver. Since Core Temp doesn’t install anything permanent on your system, it loads the driver at run time, this task requires administrator rights to achieve.

Conclusion
The tool has a great response time and shows accurate information concerning system components and temperature readings. It worked smoothly on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine during our evaluation, without triggering Windows to hang, crash or pop up error messages. It used very low amounts of CPU and RAM resources. Owners of older operating systems can use it as well (Windows XP included).
Core Temp may be small-sized and not very attractive, but it delivers effective solutions to monitoring CPU core temperatures and scheduling automatic tasks to prevent overheating.
