There are multiple ways to check the temperature of your CPU. The most common way is to use a desktop operating system’s inbuilt tool. Windows and MacOS have tools that can be used to check the temperature of your CPU.
Windows users can access the built-in Resource Monitor to check the temperature of their CPU. To open the Resource Monitor, open the Run dialog box by pressing Windows+R keys and type “resmon”. Then click on the “CPU” tab and you will find the temperature of your CPU in “Current Temperature” column.
On Mac, you can use the Activity Monitor to check your CPU’s temperature. To launch Activity Monitor, open the Terminal application or Spotlight (by pressing Command-Space bar) and type “Activity Monitor”. Select the CPU usage tab and find the temperature of your CPU under “Temperature” column.
If you don’t have access to the desktop operating system, then you can also check the temperature of your CPU using third-party software such as AIDA64, HWiNFO, Core Temp, and SpeedFan. All these tools can be easily downloaded from their official websites. Once installed, run the software and you will be able to view the current temperature of your CPU.
Another way to check the temperature of your CPU is to access the BIOS of your system. To do this, switch on your computer and press the BIOS key. This key varies from system to system and generally it is either Delete, F1, F2, F10, or F12. Once you enter the BIOS screen, look for system health status or power/thermal settings. In this section, you will find the current temperature of your CPU.
Finally, you can also use an external hardware device to monitor the temperature of your PC. You can buy an infrared thermometer or any other device like a thermal camera or thermocouple which can be connected to your computer to read the temperature.
In conclusion, there are several methods to check the temperature of your CPU. It is important to periodically check the temperature of your CPU to ensure that it is running at optimal performance levels.
