Download Core Temp v1.0 RC4

This program that lets you monitor Intel's Core 2 and Core i3\i5\i7, AMD Athlon64 and later VIA C7 and Nano chips' die temperature.
The temperature readings are very accurate as the data is collected from a Digital Thermal Sensor (or DTS) which is located in each individual processing core, near the hottest part.

There is also an article posted about Core Temp and a little background on standard thermal sensors - Article

Good stuff bro, but the links you 've posted are dead. Please fix them.

[The Coolest]

The links are live and kicking, unfortunatly there may be problems for some people to actually get on the website, I'm not sure why.
I'll see what I can do, maybe I'll post a link to the IP of the server if its possible.
Sorry it doesn't work for you :(

[QuadDamage]

you better make sure those links begin to work.

I contacted the host to see if this can be solved, for now you can download it here

Nice utility really. Works nice under WinXP but i've tried it on two other PC's - both of them are running Vista RC2 and your proggie doesn't work on one of them.

It works on ATi chipset based Shuttle XPC, it does not work on nVidia nF4 SLI system. Keep up the good work.

[The Coolest]

Yes, Vista x64 edition requires a driver to be digitally signed and this signiture costs $500/yr, I refuse to pay that much to be able to run a FREE UTILITY on M$ new OS. I'm sorry but this is just ridiculous.
I hope there may be a workaround later on, but from current prospects I don't see this problem going away any time soon :sad:

nice stuff, thanx.
However, here's a n00b question. whats an alright temperature for a 939 X2 4600+ ? I am currently getting a 54-55 C at both cores. while the casing's on and no air conditioning in room.

It also show's a TCASE temperature, which i assume is the total case temperature as 59 Degrees C. is all this cool?

[The Coolest]

Well 55C is an ok temperature for stressed CPU, if its running stock speed, idle then I guess it is pretty warm.
Also the TCaseMax is somewhat decieving, as it relates to the highest temperature that the junction between heatsink and IHS/Core can get to, while the temps Core Temp shows are the core's internal temperature.

And if you want more info on TCaseMax there is a dedicated app for that here, it also has some more info on the whole concept of TCaseMax and what it could mean to hardware enthusiasts/overclockers.

I'm on x86-32bit Vista - Your proggie works on one Vista based machine while it doesn't work on other - Both systems use the same version of Vista - Built 5744 RC2.
