How to Monitor CPU and GPU Temperatures on Any Computer

How to Monitor CPU and GPU Temperatures on Any Computer
Open Hardware Monitor is a free open source software that monitors temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of a computer. This software is free and great to monitor all your CPU, GPU and other hardware temps.

This is what I use to monitor the CPU temps on my PC. Installed it straight in the C Directory shortly after replacing the Celeron CPU with a Core i5 10400 in my HP desktop SFF case last year. I monitor the CPU Core Package in the system tray and all the other available hardware monitors in the gadget.

Superhelpful video — my pc is crashing while gaming and I need to understand my baseline settings versus what could be causing issues on hardware side. Going to setup a monitoring 🙌🏻

Super easy way to monitor temps. Drop us a LIKE 👍

Yesterday's video was just fine for me. I followed it right along and it worked wonderfully. Of course I understand that it might find it complicated, but I've been around computers for a while so...not a big deal for an old timer like me. :)

Thanks, great video really helps out. Underrated

Thank you so much for introducing this software. I almost spent money to buy a raspberry pi screen(and also might need to spend on AIDA) just to monitor my temperature and usage, because I'm not sure which reliable widget I can use. This open hardware monitor has everything I need for free. The gadget is exactly what I need and it has an option to always stay on top. I can just set it at the corner of my screen.

good follow up video will need to defo try this one out thanks...! :)

I Recommend Open Hardware Monitor over anything ! Please use this instead of Asus Armoury Crate or other bloatware with a bunch of unnecessary program executables that make your system less efficient & less stable.

Open Hardware Monitor is the way to go! Great content

I've used HWinFO 64 and it's setup nearly the same way, with a few exceptions. But, it's
great info that you bring forth when trying to setup the equivalent for Linux as well and
I just know that I'll have to because nearly every Browser makes/drives you CPU and GPU
to unimaginable temperatures, such as 155F temps AMD based laptops (2015) era. It's
just damned stupid! I've already replaced my CPU/GPU fans and used very good heatsink
compound! 1, ) One markedly issue that I'm suspicious of is that I don't believe WIN 10 is
utilizing proper memory allocation as should be based on 8 gigs worth, thus making the
CPU and GPU to work harder than it should be! 2.) Hardware based algorithms to make the
fans turn on sooner, before you get into wicked temperature problems is not being applied.
What I've noticed just within the last couple days is that every Chrome and Chromium based
browser alternatives is that virtually all of them are now using far more of system resources
and thus driving up temperatures when just not too long ago, that wasn't the case. This is
quite dastardly for anyone to put up with this madness! All that I know is that there's gonna
be a lot laptop processors going up in flames because of it and that is bad; very bad!!!

I use Libre Hardware Monitor which is a fork of Open Hardware Monitor and offers some extra functionality.

[djklink]

Always wondered if this was possible 👍

[TheronShade]

For gaming you need to run it overlay if i put my game in the bar CPU temp won't rise anymore

[NikolaTomic]

My most important question would be: if I see fan is not speeding up as response to the heat - how to speed up fans then and cool it down? Would not other software, like I use for my old Gigabyte motherboard, be better to use, like MSI Afterburner? With click you speed up fan on gpu card and cpu fans? Or I am wrong?

[kevinblaws]

It appears that it is limited with an MSI motherboard

[SteffDev]

My antivirus software started blocking this program's drivers... I guess it can make your system vulnerable somehow
Edit:
Did anyone find a way to enable it again?

[g-razer]

I use open hardware monitor for 6 years now

[FilippoQuartarulli]

I have a legion 5i pro but it doesn't show me in the parameter window the cpu temperature, why?

[markhyu]

i have gpu... and automatically my igpu is disabled and i don't see a "CPU Package".... when i run the app...it can only see the GPU temp not a Cpu.... is there anyway to see the cpu temp on my end?

[slite]

I currently am using a 6700xt and was thinking about upgrading to an nvidia card... AMD uses the Adrenalin software which displays temps and clock speeds etc. and I can put that on my second monitor to see everything simply. Not saying that some software I have seen doesen't look "easy on the eyes" but it kinda is not as simply put as AMD's software is. I am just looking for something that I can monitor just temps and clock speeds that I can full screen on my second monitor with ought seeing anything advanced (not really interested in overclocking anything) also I know about the nvidia in game overlay but I do not want something taking up the screen of my main monitor.

I have one issue with it… I CANT SEE IT! They give you 3/4 preset sizes and you can’t make it any bigger which sucks so if you have a screen dedicated to this you can’t fill the screen
