Fixed the sig, thanks.

Why don't you put the beta(s) link in the 1st post as opposed to us having to find the link? I know I'm lazy, but you have to admit the suggestion makes sense.

This little piece of software has become an intrinsic part of my desktop experience, to the point where it seems I rarely notice it's presence but I always feel it's absence. Things that manage to serve a purpose while not getting in the way are very rare these days.

Thank you @The Coolest !

If anybody wants to check out the new test build, you can get it here:

https://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/CoreTemp-1-19-5-x64.zip

If you see any issues with it, please let me know.

Among the various changes since the official release in October:
- Fix incorrect readings or missing readings or incorrectly mapped CPUs/cores on some Intel platforms.
- Fix BSOD on machines with Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection enabled.
- Fix BCLK detection on some Intel gen 10 and 11 systems.
- Fix BCLK detection in some situations on AMD K8 chips.
- Fix core temperature detection on some AMD Matisse and Rembrandt CPUs.
- Fix TjMax for some Zen1 CPUs
- Fix Min/Max/Avg fields not recording changes while the Core Temp window is minimized
- Fix temperature reporting on AMD AM2 CPUs (G-revision)
- Fix Core Temp randomly crashing (caused by 3rd party SW)
- Fix Core Temp crash on start on some AMD Ryzens with a single CCD.
- Fix Core Temp starting at the wrong window position in certain situations.

- Add new notification tray configuration. It now allows you to show/hide any of the sensors that are available. This change means that existing color configs will be reset.
- Add a battery status indicator for the notification area.
- Add updated Mini-Mode.

- Change G15 applet to support displaying more than 8 temperatures, use the 3rd button to scroll to the next set of temps. And fix spacing for a less twitchy UI.
- Change ini file to correctly save each setting under its section (this may lead to some settings being reset to defaults)

@The Coolest

Hey do you post these updates to any other forums? Just curious. Still love your program!

Just here, the Core Temp forum and overclockers.com forum.

Just here, the Core Temp forum and overclockers.com forum.

You may or may not have noticed some service interruptions here. Hopefully those won't come back, but if for any reason this forum goes the way of the main site and closes, you may wish to serialize this thread on forums.thefpsreview.com since that seems to be the preferred backup location for a lot of the users here. Fingers crossed they don't shut down this forum!

 

[The Coolest]

Thanks. Will keep it in mind.

Really appreciate this thread and all the insights from The Coolest! 🙌 Core Temp continues to be my go-to for accurate per-core readings, especially on modern Ryzen and Intel CPUs. Love how it handles TDP, TjMax, and per-CCD temps—so helpful for overclocking and monitoring extreme cooling setups. For anyone diving into DTS quirks like older Core 2 Duos or Sub-Zero cooling, it’s reassuring to see the dev weigh in and clarify what’s expected. Dark Mode and effective frequency readings are icing on the cake. Thanks for keeping Core Temp updated and for fostering such a knowledgeable community! 🚀💻
