There have been some FIVE other RCs, each more refined and improved upon than the last.Īnyway, "CoreTemp" is another, much less involved and intricate (and therefore, of course, less informative) alternative app which DOES have a clearly marked temperature gauge which, by the way, can be set to either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius (sorry eggheads, no Kelvin scale on this one YET.)! That kinda **** that happens like all the time, especially in Release Candidates, remember: it IS "Core Temp v1.0 RC6". So, what should we make of this? What I mean by that is, um, like the temperature datum displayed in this webpage didn't just appear out of thin air, ya know? AND, I just don't believe that it is simply made up, or derived from the other info displayed to the user by the app, or any other arcane reason save the most obvious and therefore, by Occam's Razor, the most likely reason: it is a value that the CPU-Z app queried for and received from your OS, but which the programmer who wrote the app simply FORGOT to include in the on-screen readout. HOWEVER, if you happen to take the time to "validate" (whatever THAT truly means) your instance of the app via a button in the middle of the bottom row of controls, just as soon as you complete the simple validation form (or even just the upper box of it) and hit, CPU-Z opens a window in the default browser (or a new tab in the default browser, if already open and configured to place new webpage requests in new tabs in the most recently opened window) in which you will find a Validation Info page, a personalized breakdown of ALL the data in displayed in ALL the tabs in the app PLUS the missing CPU temperature.(!) My Validation Info page was found at:Īnd it's PHP-generated title and basic content & function info is outlined in this HTML 5 code segment from my Validation info page:

CPU-Z, in and of itself, does NOT display the core temperature neither the individual core temps nor the overall CPU temp, as silly as that sounds considering the fact that it has SEVEN tabs, each and every one of which being full of information on like EVERYTHING in your system, from the CPU to the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) unit.
