The record

Custom sensor support: No
Purpose: Core Temp is a compact program for monitoring processor temperature and other vital information.
Per-core readings: It can display the temperature of each individual core of every processor in the system.
Sensor method: Core Temp collects readings directly from Digital Thermal Sensors located in processor cores rather than external motherboard sensors.
CPU vendors: The software supports processors from Intel, AMD and VIA.
Operating systems: The stated requirements list Microsoft Windows 11, 10, 8/8.1, 7, XP and multiple Windows Server versions.
Processor requirement: The stated processor requirement is an Intel, AMD or VIA x86-based processor.
Customization: Core Temp is described as easy to use while enabling customization and expandability through plug-ins.
Add-ons: Official add-ons include Core Temp Gadget, RGBPlugins, Core Temp Remote Server, Core Temp MC, Core Temp Grapher and a Core Temp mIRC script.
Overheating protection: The official FAQ says Core Temp implements overheating protection through its Options menu.
Administrative access: Core Temp requires administrator privileges because it loads a kernel-mode driver at runtime to access hardware information.
Compatibility limit: Some AMD processor families expose only one thermal sensor, so Core Temp can show only a single CPU temperature reading for them.
Security update: Version 1.20 lists a fix for a driver security vulnerability and a fix for a BSOD with Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection enabled.
Privacy practices: ALCPU says it uses security measures to protect personal information and does not sell, trade or rent users' personal identification information.
