How to check your CPU temperature
- Checking your CPU's temperature is a great way to make sure that your processor is running at peak performance.
- A CPU that's too hot can cause all kinds of common PC problems, from throttled performance to crashes.
- HWInfo is a classic PC-monitoring solution that can tell you everything about your system's components, from the voltages they require to the temperatures they run.
- TG Pro is our top pick for checking your CPU temperature on a Mac.
- If you're running an AMD Ryzen processor, AMD's Ryzen Master is its general CPU information tracking and overclocking tool and is a great way to check your CPU's temperature.
- Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) is arguably the best way to check how hot your processor is running, if you have an Intel Core processor.
- Anywhere under 80 degrees when fully loaded is fine for CPU temperature, although the latest generations of CPUs can operate at up to 95 degrees without impacting performance.
- You can improve CPU cooling to lower its temperature by increasing the size of its heatsink, increasing the airflow to it, or by lowering its speed so it doesn't work as hard.
- To make your CPU run a little slower, you can underclock, or better yet undervolt it, to lower its working temperature.
- Now that you know how to check your CPU temperature, you know half the equation when it comes to overclocking.
