oh, yeah -- more programs is for more cores

Updated SpeedFan, but then decided to switch back to the older
version, and disable CPU temp reporting;. . .the newer version, I
find, has a nasty programming protocol for calling home -- nasty
inasmuch in how calling home compounds one another, initially, for as
well detecting the hardware ports reporting the temps. (In a world of
binary backups, I use, for yet further complicity.)

Here's what I happened along of recent ...

(But of course) freeware - Core Temp is a compact, no fuss, small
footprint program to monitor CPU temperature.

Both now in the Windows Tray area, whereas CoreTemp 1.1, besides slick
and easy, has a few nice options for cycling through, as well for a
manner to display (one or all) cores, in reporting temp stats. A
basic but replete focus on CPU, and only CPU temperature functions, if
to say least of basic but related amenities, (beyond a fairly
comprehensive program setup), which culminates in a broader
function-call provision, in an event defined CPU limits are exceeded
[for involving another program and an user-specified co-dependency of
action(s) to be performed].

I've used Core Temp for a number of years now, and like it very much. It
seems to be extremely accurate (comparing the readings to other monitoring
programs such as SpeedFan and HWMonitor), plus it is manually adjustable for
CPUs that may not be in its database.

Very nice for a freebie, that's for sure :-)

I got that feeling also, of its 'accuracy', upon looking over its home
webpage. A no-nonsense approach design, for both, with largely no
gimmicks, extraneous or superficial matter. Thanks for adding your
vote of confidence.
