CoreForge is a CPU monitor that tells you something useful rather than just drawing a wiggly line. A radial gauge shows overall load beside a per-core grid with individual sparklines, so you can see immediately whether one thread is pegged or the whole chip is busy. Scrolling history charts cover the last minute, five minutes, fifteen minutes or the whole session, with a hover crosshair that reads out the exact sample under your cursor. A live per-process table shows which programs are actually responsible, sortable by any column. The deep panel reports model, core counts, cache, socket and architecture alongside live turbo-aware effective clock, temperature where your firmware exposes it, memory and uptime. Alerts use a sustained-window rule — "overall CPU above 90% for 10 seconds" — so ordinary spikes do not cry wolf.
What it does
Radial gauge for overall CPU beside a per-core grid with individual sparklines
Scrolling history charts over 1, 5 and 15 minutes or the whole session, with a hover crosshair readout
Live per-process CPU table with PID and memory, sortable by any column
Deep CPU information: model, core counts, cache, socket and architecture
Live tiles for turbo-aware effective clock, temperature (where firmware exposes it), memory and uptime
Threshold alerts with a sustained-window rule so brief spikes do not trigger false alarms
Desktop notification, in-app banner and event log when an alert fires
Recording to a rolling on-disk log, with CSV and JSON export and point-in-time snapshots
Frameless always-on-top mini monitor, tray residency and dark, light and midnight themes
