Every 2 years or so I build a new rig and have used a multitude of different programs to monitor CPU temps. As far as I know, RealTemp is the only one that will display the 4 cores ON the taskbar. I know that there are others that I can bring up from the sys tray but for me, that is not real useful. I want to be be able to glance down and see the temps as I'm working.

I have no complaints about RealTemp but I have heard of others that may be more accurate. HWMonitor comes to mind as well as CoreTemp. When I just finished building this latest rig, I installed several and had the same problem I've had for years. None of the other companies will display temps on the taskbar. I don't get it. CoreTemp was the closest as they showed all 4 cores but only in the system tray.

If I am mistaken and someone knows differently, please let me know which program it is and where exactly they configured the temps to display on the taskbar. Appreciate it as always.
 
I was able to get CoreTemp configured to display on the taskbar and it works fine. What is bothering me is that even after removing RealTemp from my computer it is still showing up under taskbar notifications. I even used a cache cleaner on CC cleaner and can't remove it. I don't get it.
