Intel came up with a great idea so monitoring software could easily read power consumption data directly from the CPU. This data is used internally by Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs to control the amount of Turbo Boost. Unfortunately, this data is based on the VID voltage and not the actual core voltage. If you go into the bios and change the CPU core voltage manually, this estimated power consumption number will not be accurate. I will try to add this data back to RealTemp in the near future for Ivy Bridge CPUs.

RTCore.dll was designed to work with RivaTuner. When RivaTuner was replaced by MSI Afterburner, I stopped working on the RTCore.dll plugin. Reading the core temperature of a Core i CPU is trivial. You would be better off just writing your own code but you can try and use the RTCore.dll however you like.
