Recently a new release candidate of CoreTemp has been released. This small, free program can identify and monitor your computer’s processor. Core Temp, for example, shows the temperature and working pressure of the individual cores. on this page a list of all supported processors can be found. The collected information is written into a log, so that it can later be converted into a graph, for example in Excel. It is also possible to control the processor via an Android or Windows Phone app keep an eye on. Since RC4, the following changes and improvements have been made:
