Windows 10: Why is Core Temp app connecting to 192.185.41.230 IP in the background

Does anyone use Core Temp app? It should be a simple Windows app that displays CPU core temperature.

As a general precaution/safety rule I pass all freeware that I download from the Internet via a ProcMon / Wireshark to see if it's doing any mischief in the background.So while starting Core Temp.exe I observed that it connects to 192.185.41.230 IP address in the background.Here's a screenshot from ProcMon:







And here's the screenshot from Wireshark:





Does anyone know what is being sent in the binary form in that transmission? Why is it needed in the app that displays CPU temperature? And how to disable it?

Windows 10 not utilizing processor cores properly

it's been a couple of weeks or so since I got my laptop back from it's thermal teardown, and temps across all cores are down and speeds are up, but I am seeing that core 3 is getting temps higher than the other cores. it not reaching 100c like before, but
I am not sure if I need to be concerned or not. also, I think the higher temp in core 3 is causing a little bit of thermal throttling, but I am not sure. I still have yet to see the full 2.8 ghz speed, even for a moment.

core 3 max temp is 73c while cores 0 through 2 are staying steady at c - 69c

core 0 max temp - 66c

core 1 max temp - 69c

core 2 max temp - 64c

core 3 max temp - 73c

this is my first multi-core PC, so I am used to only attention to one temp for the CPU, but is such a wide range of temps normal? shouldn't the temps be all the same?

is core 3's temp to high?

 

Win 10: DNS resolution of remote network via VPN connection not working

I solved the problem yesterday. I use
FortiClient SSL VPN. After starting
the VPN connection, it needs to change
the metric VPN connection. I attach
a script that solves it.
It is necessary for him to create a shortcut
and run it as an Administrator.
The script first addresses whether the connection is
inactive. If so, the connection starts
and a turns his metrics to
9 (LAN with me being 10).
If the connection after running the script is already
active, it stops. It can
therefore be used to start and stop VPN
connections. Some VPN clients enable
script to run when you connect or disconnect
- then you need to modify the script.

Have a nice day

CoreTemp checks for updates when you start it. I believe that you can disable that feature if you look in the options menu.

 

Its not doing anything funny its not some crazy binary form, it is an HTTP request for this file: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/coretempver.xml which tells it if it is the latest version or not.

alcpu.com -> 192.185.41.230

 

When I want to find out who own's an IP I just Google it

EG:
Code: whois 192.185.41.230[/quote]
