Core Temp Overview
Core Temp is a free, lightweight Windows utility focused specifically on monitoring the temperature of your processor. It reads the digital thermal sensor in each individual CPU core, showing per-core temperatures in real time along with load and, on supported chips, power consumption — using data straight from the processor for accuracy. Its compact display and system-tray readouts make it easy to keep an eye on CPU temperatures while doing other things, and it supports add-ons and logging. It is a popular, focused choice for anyone who just wants reliable CPU temperature monitoring. Its full installer holds the complete application, so it sets up on a machine with no internet connection. It can also trigger protective actions, such as a notification or shutdown, if the CPU exceeds a temperature you set, adding a safety net against overheating.
