What makes Core Temp unique is the way it works. It is able to display a temperature for each individual core of each processor in your system. You can see temperature fluctuations in real time with varying workloads. Core Temp is also motherboard agnostic. Core Temp makes it easy for you to monitor the temperature of any modern x86-based processor. The program supports processors from all three major manufacturers; Intel, AMD and VIA.

Intel processors starting with the “Core” series all the way up to the latest Core i7, including all derivatives. AMD processors starting with the first Athlon64 and Opteron processor series, all Phenom and AMD’s new APUs are supported. VIA processors starting with the C7 generation of CPUs, including all derivatives based on the C7 architecture. All the Nano-based processors are also supported.

The temperature readings are highly accurate as the data is collected directly from a digital thermal sensor (or DTS) located in each individual processing core*, near the hottest part. This sensor is digital, meaning it doesn’t rely on an external circuit on the motherboard to report temperature, the value is stored in a special register in the processor so that software can access and read it. This eliminates any inaccuracies that may be introduced by external motherboard circuits and sensors.
