CPU-Z is a freeware utility that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system. CPU-Z does not need to be installed, just unzip the files in a directory and run the .exe. In order to remove the program, just delete the files and that`s it. The program does not copy any file in any Windows directory, nor write in the registry.

RealTemp is compatible with any version of Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Windows 7; 32 or 64 bit. If you are in a limited account, you will need to right click on the icon and run RealTemp as an Administrator so that the necessary WinRing0 driver can be properly installed.

RealTemp is a temperature monitoring program designed for all Intel single Core, Dual Core and Quad Core processors. Each core on these processors has a digital thermal sensor (DTS) that reports temperature data relative to TjMax which is the safe maximum operating core temperature for the CPU.

If the value of TJMax is known and if the data being output by the DTS sensors changed at the exact same rate that the core temperature was changing at then you could use this simple formula to convert DTS data to your absolute core temperature:

Absolute Core Temperature = TJMax - DTS
