PCM API for thermal metrics?

I am attempting to find a way to make a temperature monitoring program, and didn't realize how obscured access to the CPU digital thermal sensor is... Of course I'm only a novice and it's probably just me. I came across the Intel's Performance Counter Monitor, and it seemed like it could possibly have what I need. The documentation isn't really user friendly though, and I'm assuming proprietary docs probably exist elsewhere, unavailable to the public. My current setup is as follows: 'Windows 11 -> Visual Studio -> C++ -> PCM API #includes (all there and working) -> empty int main() -> and a dream'. If there is no way to achieve DTS readings with this API then that's fine, what other API's could I consider if not PCM? are there any that are open source?

Thanks in advance for any guidance
