## Alder Lake Tools
-Simple vCore monitoring and bench utilities for Intel 12th gen. Probably works for other machines, but I have a 12600K so that's what it's made for.
+Simple vCore monitoring and bench utilities for Intel 12th gen. Made because I couldn't find a utility to graph vCore while overclocking my CPU. Probably works for other machines, but I have a 12600K so that's what it's made for. Built with opencode, mostly Qwen3.8 models and GLM.

+Live activity bars for the core clocks/temps, and graphing for vCore, Clock, Power Draw, Temp. Makes it easy to see when voltage spikes and how it relates to clock/power/temp, so you can understand the load the CPU is under. Also tracks peaks.
