How To Check CPU Temperature in Windows 10 (With HWMonitor & HWInfo Installation/Monitoring!)

This video includes a fast and easy tutorial for how to check your CPU temperature in Windows 10 using HWMonitor and HWInfo. These programs allow you to check and monitor the temps of many of your computer's components from one dashboard.

This guide will show you how to check both AMD CPU temperatures and Intel CPU temperatures.

Checking your CPU temps is important if your computer is locking up, restarting on its own, or having issues during everyday use.

absolutely straight forward, I subscribed without giving it a second thought.

Finally! Something simple that even I understand. Thank you, sir.

(standing ovation) Great video - this is how you do how to videos. Well thought out, used an outline, knew where you were going to end. Video editing and content were excellent. Now... about the content... well done sir. Thank you

[smcervantess]

way more informational than other videos i have seen. thank you!

Just a note, even if you don't use the metric system, Celsius is the standard measuring unit for CPU temps. You only need Fahrenheit for weather/room/body/cooking temperature.

Thank you for the no nonsense no bs info. 👍

Thank you! I replaced my heatsink with a water cooled unit and that led me here. Running idle at a cool 27 C.. I think that's good.

thanks for making this!....you just gained a new subscriber

Programs tool bar is not showing in my laptop... I hv tried many versions (latests)... also the you using... Still not showing.

thanks for the video, was looking for this

Does anyone know why it doesn't show the cpu temperture for me? I have a really old cpu - intel 7 - 2700k. It only says intel core and percentage of cores used

[Martin-qhdk]

I rarely comment on youtube but this was very useful and easy to understand thanks

I remember in the early internet, 1960-1970, when exe files could be run and could change voltages of the motherboard and could catch fire and burn down your house and sometimes spread to burn down half of your city. Now we have safety.

great video, nice audio too .. keep it up

[rockorton]

Sir, what is the average temperature of a cpu and also how we can make it work cool, plz help I am a bit confused

[brendavasquez]

Hi, I save my temp in HWinfo to the task bar but as soon as i close the app it disappears again, any ideas.

[mikeav]

How to know how much power consumption our computer is taking ?
( No free & potential-malware software, please )
Is there something provided by Microsoft / Intel / AMD ?

Thank you!

My CPU fan has been going crazy this week and I've been trying to diagnose the problem because the sound is annoying. I can at least rule out that my CPU is running too hot (it's in the 30 - 40 C range, which I think is _below_ average). Also, I cleaned the whole thing out with compressed air and that didn't seem to improve anything.

I was hesitant to fiddle around in the BIOS because I don't want to change any default settings - I'm afraid of screwing things up - but if the temperature is within normal parameters, maybe it's worth adjusting the fan speed to a lower setting.

In the HWInfo you had to find CPU package which is the actual CPU temperature, not the one which you showed.

[misterlove]

which more reliable?
hwmonitor show my cpu reach 100c but coretemp/hwinfo only 92c at max
