Indeed, Everest is a fantastic and complete application for monitoring
temps, voltages, and fan speeds. It's worth every penny. However, if you
want something free that will monitor your Core 2 Duo's core temperatures,
you can use CoreTemp.

Do not be alarmed if the temeratures seems high. This is normal since this
application displays reading from digital thermal sensors very close to each
of the two cores. Typical monitoring applications display a single reading
taken from thermal diode on the cpu die, located in a cooler spot than the
digital core sensors. A normal core idle temp could be anywhere between 40C
and 50C, depending on the airflow through your case, and ambient room
temperature.
