As Akemi said, you can get this module from elrepo.org.

Coretemp isn't present in TUV kernel so it can't be turned on in 
centosplus. In addition, coretemp requires an updated version of 
lm_sensors to that provided by CentOS (also available as a dependency in 
elrepo).

PS - and so AMD users don't feel left out, elrepo also has a k10temp 
module, something you won't even find in the latest (2.6.30.4) mainline 
kernel!
