Real Temp 3.58 Beta
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Real_Temp_d6098.html

Real Temp is a temperature monitoring program designed for all Intel single Core, Dual Core, Quad Core and Core i7 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. As your CPU heats up, your Distance to TJMax will decrease. If it reaches zero, your processor will start to thermal throttle or slow down so maximizing your distance away from TJMax will help your computer run at full speed and more reliably too.

Main Features
+ Reads temperature information from all Intel Core based processors. Pentium 4 processors are not supported.
+ Ability to individually calibrate Real Temp for each core of your CPU.
+ Program is based on temperature data gathered using a Fluke 62 IR Thermometer.
+ Test Sensors feature will check your DTS sensors for any sign of problems.
+ Keeps track of Minimum and Maximum temperatures with full logging features.
+ Reporting and logging of the Intel PROCHOT# thermal throttle activity bit.
+ Quick, very accurate and repeatable benchmark.

Cobian Backup 10.0.0.390 BETA
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Cobian_Backup_d4739.html

Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program that can be used to schedule and backup your files and directories from their original location to other directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network. FTP backup is also supported in both directions (download and upload).

Cobian Backup exists in two different versions: application and service. The program uses very few resources and can be running on the background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when necessary. Cobian Backup is not an usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a security copy as a result. So Cobian Backup can be better described as a "Scheduler for security copies"
