Core Temp 1.0 RC6

When running resource intensive tasks on a CPU such as video games, 3D design programs, overclocking, and benchmarking, it often likely that things will heat up on the inside. Therefore it is recommended that you utilize some form of an application that will help you monitor your temperature to ensure that you don’t have any future issues with the performance of your CPU.

With Core Temp you are able to monitor the temperature of your CPU from a simple and easy to use interface. Core Temp provides you with the temperature of each processor in your CPU measured in Celsius at the start; however, you are given the option to read in Fahrenheit in the program’s settings.

Core Temp also comes with a very unique feature in Overheat Protection. As you could imagine, Overheat Protection protects your system from overheating by first notifying you once it has reached an abnormally high temperature. Then the program will take other actions once it reaches a dangerous temperature. It is all up to you exactly what it does however. You can set the program to run a specific application at a specific temperature. You can even instruct the system to Sleep, Shutdown, or Restart at a specific temperature.

Another great feature of Core Temp, is the ability to place some of its information in your task manager so that you don’t have to open Core Temp every time you want to check something. Adding Core Temp to your task manager makes accessing essential information a lot faster.

Core Temp is a very good application that should be given a look at. Especially by those resource intensive users. It does what it should and it does it well.
