Using Core Temp to check CPU temperature

Processors generate a lot of heat and this can be a reason for many computer problems like random restarts,abrupt shutdowns and so on.
The overheating becomes amplified in case of dual processor systems and hence it is essential to at least have some kind of tool that reports the processor temperature.

Core Temp is a very small yet quite handy tool for this purpose.It reports the temperature of each individual core in each processor in your system real time and is completely motherboard independent.

Using it is as simple as it can get.Launch the executable file of Core Temp and notice how it displays the temperature of cores in a system :

Just like all reporting tools,the information can be logged for future references and the tool can be customized by going to Options > Settings.
Select the Enable Logging option and save the changes.

This will now generate a csv file in the directory where Core Temp is installed named Temp Log.csv

The visual indication of core temperature can be directly found in system tray with blue and red digits which are the reported temperatures of core.

Feel free to give Core Temp a try,it is quite useful.

Peace.
