There are various reasons causing your CPU to overheat, such as prolonged heavy tasks, lack of cleanliness over time, or the working environment. Regardless of the reason, it's crucial to monitor and be aware of the current CPU temperature to avoid damaging other components. Some computers have specialized software for this, but if your computer doesn't support it, you can download CPU-Z / HWMonitor software. These are specialized tools for gathering information about hardware components.
How to check CPU temperature with CPU-Z
Guide on using CPU-Z to check CPU temperature
- Attention
- Currently, you cannot check the fan status with CPU-Z. Instead, there are two similar software options you can use, namely HW Monitor and SpeedFan. The usage will be discussed in the content below.
Step 1: Access the link below to download and install the HWMonitor software.
- Download HWMonitor at this location.
Step 2: After installation, open the HWMonitor software.
Step 3: To view the CPU temperature of your computer, click on the CHIP section on your computer.
- For example, in the image, it's the Intel Core i5 10300H chip. Under the Temperatures section, there are two subcategories:
+ Package: Overall CPU temperature.
+ Cores (Max): Physical cores of the CPU.
Step 4: To see detailed CPU core temperatures, click on the plus icon next to Cores (Max).
After knowing the CPU temperature, you can assess the condition of your computer based on it. Additionally, you can easily and quickly check your laptop fan with CPU Z and take corrective measures when the component temperatures are too high.
If you want to inspect your laptop hardware in more detail, download the Furmark software now. Furmark has all the features to help you understand the status of your device.
