We measure the temperature of the computer. What is the normal temperature of the processor? How to measure it and, if necessary, reduce it

New generation processors do not fail due to overheating, as before. A special function monitors the temperature of the device and, if it reaches a critical value, forcibly shuts down. But an ordinary user, when looking for solutions to problems that arise in the operation of the operating system, still needs to know the temperature of the CPU. This will help to find the reason for the unstable operation of the OS, for example, when the computer is turned off frequently.
You can view the temperature both by software methods (by downloading third-party applications) and by the services of the operating system itself. All of them are applicable for all recent versions of Windows. Even an unprepared user can easily find out the temperature of the processor. The programs described below are also applicable for viewing temperatures on other computer components. From this guide you will also learn what limits the temperature of the central processor should not go beyond in order for the operating system to work without lags and failures.

Viewing CPU temperature without programs

In order not to download and install software from outside, go to BIOS or UEFI (new interface). There you can find out information about the temperature of the equipment, in particular the central processor. This data can be found in a separate section, and its name depends on which motherboard is installed on your device: a computer or a laptop. In older computers, the BIOS does not support the Russian language, so you need to look for the following line: CPU Temp (or the full name of Temperature). If you have a new motherboard model, for example from Asus, the basic I / O system is Russified, therefore, look for the following information: CPU Temperature.

Search in these sections:

  • Hardware Monitor (or short: Monitor, H/W Monitor).
  • power.
  • PC Health Status (or Status for short).
  • If the motherboard on the PC supports the new specification, UEFI, the CPU temperature can be seen immediately upon entry.
This method is simple but not effective if you need to find the root of the problem. When you enter UEFI / BIOS, the processor is not loaded, therefore, the temperature that is displayed is not indicative. After exiting the BIOS, the processor will work at full strength, and its temperature will be much higher.



The command line and the PowerShell tool preinstalled in the operating system also provide information about CPU temperatures. How to find it, we will tell a little later. And first - third-party software that allows you to monitor the degree of heating of the CPU in real time.

Core Temp

This small utility is available in one version, free of charge, and allows you to get the necessary information. The uniqueness of the software is that it shows the temperature of individual cores, and fluctuations in temperature values ​​can be observed in real time.

Monitoring results are displayed on the OS taskbar. You can run the utility in the background and monitor temperature data at different levels of operating system load and different states.


The utility also provides basic data about the central processor and can work in conjunction with the All CPU Meter load gadget. The latter monitors the system and informs the user in real time about the CPU load, frequency and RAM load. Users who have Windows 7 installed can download an add-on to the utility - Core Temp Gadget. This widget informs the user about the RAM and CPU usage and displays the results on the desktop screen.

CPUID HWMonitor

This utility, despite its compactness, is very popular and in demand. HWMonitor, software from CPUID, is available in Freeware version and is designed to monitor various components of a personal computer. Including the utility shows the temperature of the central processor.


Also with this tool you can observe:
  • for tension;
  • for the speed of rotation of the cooling fans;
  • the temperature of other components of the device (hard drives, video card, motherboard);
  • for the load of CPU cores.

Speccy

It's free, compact and one of the easiest tools to monitor the temperature of all PC components. The utility has Russian-language localization and works very simply. It must be launched and observed temperature fluctuations in real time. Moreover, you will see not only the degree of heating of the processor, but also be able to evaluate all the parameters of the computer.

This software is developed by Piriform Ltd, the authors of the most popular PC cleaning program, CCleaner, and is unique in its versatility. One little utility reveals a lot of useful information about your operating system and the characteristics of all computer components.


You will be able to monitor all temperatures, which is very useful when troubleshooting related to overheating of a particular equipment.

speedfan

This utility controls all components of the computer/laptop. It works like the Dispatcher service, but in an expanded and more informative mode. You can monitor hard drives, change the speed of cooling fans, monitor the temperature of the CPU and other PC components (kernel, video cards, etc.).


The utility can be used on Windows 7,8 and 10. When measuring temperature, you can get results not only online, but also set up graphs. This will help you determine which process or application is loading the processor by raising its temperature. Players also need this feature: they will be able to receive up-to-date information at the time of gameplay.

HWInfo

The HWInfo diagnostic tool is free and works just like Speccy. With it, you can find out the characteristics of the PC, monitor the equipment and monitor its temperature. By downloading the Freeware utility developed by the REALiX team, you will find out all the information about your computer and be able to monitor changes in all parameters, including temperature values, in real time.

The "Sensors" button is responsible for displaying the temperature. By clicking on it, you will be taken to a section where all the temperature values ​​\u200b\u200bof various PC components, including the CPU, will be presented.


The software is available in two versions, depending on the bitness of the operating system, and HWInfo32 can also be installed on a 64-bit OS.

Other utilities for viewing the temperature of the processor of a computer or laptop

Let's briefly talk about four more utilities that allow you to monitor the temperature of the CPU:

Find out the processor temperature using Windows PowerShell or the command line

PowerShell is an extensible automation tool, a command-line shell that comes pre-installed with Windows. It also has a function with which you can view the temperature of the equipment, including the CPU.

Launch PowerShell as Administrator and run:

Get-wmiobject msacpi_thermalzonetemperature -namespace "root/wmi"
If you are a traditional command line user, type the following:

Wmic /namespace:\\root\wmi PATH MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature get CurrentTemperature
You will see the result on the command line.


This method may not work on all operating systems. If the temperature does not change, use other means.

normal cpu temperature

What should be the temperature of the CPU in order for the computer to work stably, without lags, crashes and other surprises - an urgent question, especially for beginners. So:
  • If the PC is idle - the range varies from 27 to 37 (deviations in one direction or another are possible).
  • If the PC is loaded (games, synchronization, etc.) - the range varies from 39 to 61 (deviations in one direction or another are possible).
  • The temperature range from 68 to 73 is considered the maximum. After that, the computer is forcibly turned off or hangs.
It's important to know:
  • The temperature in the room affects the heating of all components of a computer or laptop. Moreover, the heating is uneven. If the temperature in the room has increased by 2 degrees Celsius, then the central processor will react with an increase of three.
  • If the PC case is crammed with components, the CPU temperature will be 4-17 degrees higher. Also, the proximity of the case to the wall, battery, etc. has a great influence on overheating of the processor. That is, the less space, the higher the temperature of the components. Therefore, it is recommended to place the computer so that there is free space around the case.
  • The computer needs to be dusted from time to time. The more dust, the higher the temperature of the processor, motherboard and other equipment. This is because dust prevents the CPU from cooling.
  • If the PC is clean and the thermal paste is replaced, but the device continues to heat up or the system does not boot after all the manipulations, you made some kind of mistake. Find up-to-date information on trusted, reputable resources on how to properly clean your PC, etc. In these manipulations, not everything is as simple as it might seem to you at first glance.

One of the factors affecting the speed of a computer / laptop is the temperature of the processor, video card and other components. The higher the temperature, the slower the computer/laptop will run. If the processor is very hot, the video card may fail, and long-term operation in high heat mode reduces its service life. At critical temperatures, the device will spontaneously turn off (protection against overheating). In order to prevent overheating of the processor, video card and other components of a computer / laptop, it is necessary to periodically monitor the temperature and, at critical values, take measures to reduce it. How and how to check the temperatures of the processor, video card and how to reduce the temperature will be described in this article.

There are two ways to check the temperature of the processor, video card and other computer/laptop components:

1 View temperature in BIOS;

2 Use third-party programs.

Find out the temperature of the processor and other components in the BIOS.

In order to get into the BIOS when booting a computer, laptop, press the F2 or Del key (the buttons may differ, depending on the model of the motherboard). Then in the settings you need to find the Power / Monitor menu in different versions of the BIOS will be different. There you will see the temperature of the processor, motherboard, etc..

I will give an example of how I watched the temperature on the ASUS motherboard in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface - a replacement for the obsolete BIOS, used in modern motherboards). Once you are in UEFI, click the "Advanced" button.

After that, go to the "Monitor" tab, you will see the temperature of the processor, motherboard and much more information.

Thus, without installing any programs, you can find out the temperatures of the computer / laptop components. The disadvantage of this method is that not all motherboards have this option and it is impossible to see the processor temperature under load (when running "heavy" programs or games).

Find out the temperature of the processor, video card using programs.

There are a large number of different programs that will show you online the temperature values ​​​​of computer / laptop components. In this article, I will analyze several of these applications and give my assessment of their work.

Find out the temperature of computer / laptop components using the AIDA64 program.

AIDA64 is one of the most popular computer/laptop review and diagnostic software. AIDA64 provides comprehensive information about the composition of the computer: hardware, programs, operating system, network and connected devices, and also shows the temperature of all devices on the computer / laptop.

The window of the program, which shows the temperature data from the sensors.

It should be said that the program is paid and trial version (30 days) does not show information about all devices, in my opinion this is the main disadvantage of this program.

Find out the temperature of the processor, video card using the Speccy program.

Speccy is a small utility from the developers of the most popular application for cleaning your computer of system junk CCleaner. At startup, Speccy monitors the hardware of the computer, and displays information about the operating system, the characteristics of the installed hardware, and data from sensors.

Below the program interface.

In my opinion, one of the best programs for determining the temperature of the processor, video card, etc. In addition to information from sensors, it also provides a detailed analysis of all hardware installed on a computer / laptop. The big plus is that the program is free.

Find out the temperature of the processor, video card using the CPUID HWMonitor program.

CPUID HWMonitor - a program designed to monitor the performance of various components of a computer / laptop (temperature, fan speed, and voltage).

Below is the interface of this program.

In my opinion, the ideal solution for those who are only interested in information about the temperature of all PC components. No unnecessary information, only temperature and fan speed, plus minimum and maximum values ​​are shown, in addition, this program is absolutely free.

What should be the temperature of the processor and video card.

Different processor manufacturers set their own temperature, but generally speaking, the temperature should be between 30 -45 ° C in idle, up to 60-65 ° C in load, anything above is considered critical. Let me explain that these are average values, you need to look for more specific information on the website of your processor manufacturer.

For a video card, the normal temperature is up to 50-55°C at idle, under load up to 75-80°C. These average values ​​can be found on the website of the manufacturer of your video card.

What to do when the temperature of the processor, video card is high.

1 Clean your computer/laptop from dust. Make sure all coolers and vents are free of dust. This is the most common overheating problem in a computer or laptop. To eliminate it, you need to disassemble the computer / laptop and remove all the dust that interferes with cooling.

2 Replace thermal paste. Thermal paste is a layer of thermally conductive compound (usually multi-component) between the processor and the heatsink. Over time, this paste dries up and loses its properties, because of this, the processor and video card overheat. To replace it, you need to disassemble the computer, remove the old thermal paste from the laptop and apply a new one in a THIN layer. Typically, thermal paste is replaced when cleaning a computer / laptop from dust.

3 Replace the radiatorcooler. You should choose a better heatsink, cooler for better cooling of the computer. In addition, it is quite possible that an additional cooler should be installed on the case for better heat dissipation from the computer.

I hope I helped you determine the temperature of the processor, video card and you were able to reduce it and achieve faster and more stable operation of your computer / laptop.

In this instruction, we will consider in detail how to find out the temperature of the processor in Windows 10 (the methods are similar for the "seven" and "eight") using the BIOS, free utilities and the means of the operating system itself.

Usually, the user does not need to know to what temperature the processor heats up. Such a need arises only in cases of suspicion that the temperature index of the probe exceeds the norm.

Let's start with how to view the temperature of the processor without using applications that display the data that the temperature sensor provides them.

Firmware (UEFI/BIOS)

The computer is able to provide the necessary information on its own, for this you don’t even need an operating system. This information is contained in the BIOS (UEFI for new laptops and motherboards). The only thing you need to do in order to see this information is to go to the menu for changing the settings of the basic I / O system.

This is done during computer startup with the F2, Del, or other key specified after the hardware self-test. After visiting the system settings, you need to find the Hardware Monitor or PC Health Status section, where the required information will be found. Usually, this is a string called CPU Temperature or Temp.

On devices with UEFI, information can be contained directly on the main page, and if it is not there, the desired field is easy to find due to the fact that the menu will be Russified.

Checking temperature in BIOS

A significant disadvantage of the method is the inability to monitor the dynamics of changes in the temperature readings of the CPU.

PowerShell

This option displays the information in a PowerShell prompt after the corresponding request is made.

1. Through the search, open the PowerShell tool with administrator privileges.

2. Run the command:

get-wmiobject msacpi_thermalzonetemperature -namespace "root/wmi"

3. Find the "CurrentTemperature" field.

4. We extract the digital value and discard the last digit (divide by 10).

5. We subtract the temperature of absolute zero (-273 ° C) from the obtained value to convert degrees Kelvin to Celsius.

Be careful! The command does not work on all systems and may always output the same value.

Free Apps

Let's consider how the problem is solved with the help of freely distributed utilities and their free editions.

Core Temp

The utility is designed to visualize detailed information about the CPU on Windows 10, 8 and 7. It separately displays information for each core, they can be broadcast to the taskbar. A very handy tool for keeping constant control over the heating of the processor.

Also, the application can become a data provider for the All CPU Meter gadget. Several useful add-ons can be downloaded from the official source, for example, Core Temp Grapher - a tool for displaying graphs showing CPU load and temperature.

HWMonitor

One of the most popular programs for displaying information about the hardware of a computer or laptop. Like the previous one, it contains separate graphs for showing the temperature values ​​of each of the CPU cores, additionally displays the voltage of each core and the speed of the cooler.

You can download it from www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html.

Speccy

Another easy-to-use program that provides the necessary readings, and with them data about the hardware components of the system. The processor temperature is displayed in the main window as one of the fundamental values ​​along with the characteristics of the computer.

speedfan

The software is used to monitor and control the rotation of coolers. It also displays the temperature of key hardware components. As for the processor, information is displayed separately for each core.

The utility, although more than 15 years old, is still supported, although it is updated infrequently.

The developer's official resource is located at http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php, from where the utility is recommended to be downloaded.

HWInfo

Similar to the previous program, with regard to solving the current problem. In all other respects, it outperforms its closest competitors. Contains detailed data about the hardware of the computer and operates in two modes:

  • "Only data from sensors" (to run HWInfo in this mode, check the "Only Sensors" option);
  • "Summary information" (just click "Run").

If you launched the utility in the second mode, and do not know how to check the temperature, click on the "Sensors" button in the toolbar. After a couple of seconds to scan all the sensors, the "Sensor Status" window will appear. In it we find the temperature in the "CPU" section.

The application installer is located at http://www.hwinfo.com.

When downloading, pay attention to the bitness of the operating system used (you can find it out from the "System" window launched via Win → X).

Open Hardware Monitor

A new product that is actually an analogue of HWMonitor in terms of visual style and functionality. It has not yet matured to the first version, but it copes with the tasks perfectly.

The program is located at http://open-hardware-monitor.en.lo4d.com.

OCCT

Powerful software for testing the system and conducting stress tests of hardware (graphics and central processors). Everything you need is contained in the main window after you launch the application.

The utility is located at http://www.ocbase.com.

AIDA64

This is already paid software, a follower of Everest. For non-commercial use, a trial version is available with a limitation: it will work only for 30 days. The latest version of the program is designed for Windows 10, although it works fine in all previous versions of the OS.

You can download it from the official page https://www.aida64.com/downloads.

For general development

Often, users wonder what the CPU temperature should be or what is the limit of its acceptable values. Approximately the situation is as follows.

Up to 40 ° C is the normal value for a device operating without much load.

40–50° C - processor operation under load (watching a movie, working in a graphics editor).

50–65° C (70° C is allowed for some top models) - acceptable temperature when solving complex calculations (rendering, unpacking, working with 3D applications).

Manufacturers do not recommend warming up the CPU above 70–72 ° C. When this temperature is reached, you should pay attention to the cooling system or the number of running applications.

Upon reaching critical values, which for different devices can be quite different, the system automatically turns off in emergency mode - without proper shutdown.

or even buy a new processor.

It all depends on how really high this temperature is and how long this indicator lasts.

The state of the system is also important. when the temperature starts to rise - if the user has run several "heavy" programs, then there is nothing surprising in the temperature increase.

But if the user turns on Microsoft Word or some kind of browser and everything is already starting to freeze, and the temperature rises, this is already bad.

In any case, you need to know the temperature, and today we will look at all the simplest and most popular ways to help you do this.

A very simple way - download the program from this link, open the downloaded archive, run it (you don't need to install anything), go to the "Computer" section on the left panel, then go to "Sensors" and see the processor temperature.

It is very convenient that you can see separately the t° of each core. About its huge advantage is that the program does not need to be installed.

In general, AIDA64 is very multifunctional a tool that allows you to see the temperature of various parts of the CPU.

So, in Figure 1 you can see that the program displays the temperature of the processor cover (package), graphics core (GT Cores), computing cores (IA Cores), as well as diodes.

As for the indicator we need, t ° processor, this program is one of the best tools that allow you to find it out.

In addition to temperature indicators, AIDA64 gives the user the opportunity to find out the values ​​of the following values:

  • processor core , battery and GPU voltage ;
  • the power of the components of the processor (graphics, computing core, and so on);
  • power supply and battery properties - capacity, type, operating time and much more;
  • processor properties - frequency, cache, name, version and the like;
  • all information about the computer itself - video adapters, chipset, motherboard, DirectX version, name, operating system, in general - everything that a user might need;
  • information about multimedia - what codecs are installed, how the audio system works, and so on;
  • information about all connected devices, Windows devices and devices that are in the computer itself;
  • information about the server, motherboard, network status, security, installed programs and much more.

AIDA64 allows you to perform various system tests and display information about drivers and software in the form of databases.

In general, such a program is one of those that must be on a computer.

Speccy program

In terms of tasks performed, Speccy is very similar to AIDA64. But this is a much less functional utility that allows you to find out only the most basic information about the computer.

It is best to download it on the official website.

The popularity of Speccy is due to the fact that it was created by the developers of the world-famous tool for cleaning your computer of garbage CCleaner.

Therefore, it is not surprising that despite the modest functionality, it still downloads a huge number of people every day.

Finding out the temperature of the processor using Speccy is very simple. You just need to download the program, run it and just look at what is written under CPU.

The processor model, frequency and its temperature will be indicated there.

You do not need to open any sections, this information will be indicated on the start page along with data on the operating system, motherboard, RAM and other components of the computer.

CPUID HWMonitor program

Another very popular program that allows you to find out a variety of computer data.

On the official website, you can click on the Setup English button to download the setup file.

The program has only an English version.

Using it is very simple - you need to install the program, run it, open the first section of the PC, open another section, the name of which depends on the name of the computer (in our example, it is ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.), then in the Temperatures subsection, find the line CPU.

Near it, the temperature will be written in the first column - Value. There are also Min and Max columns. These are the minimum and maximum temperatures, respectively.

It should be said right away that CPUID HWMonitor is a bit more complicated than the above programs . So you can say, if only because it does not contain the Russian language.

Of course, it is not difficult to find out the temperature of the processor with its help, but problems may arise with all other data.

Users say that sometimes some data is in completely unexpected and illogical sections.

On the other hand, it is convenient that there is information about the maximum and minimum value of each parameter.

This allows you to see if everything is fine with each parameter - if it reaches the maximum mark, then something urgently needs to be done.

Other utilities

Except everyone the above programs, you can also find out the temperature of the processor using the following programs:

HWInfo

Very easy to use - zd Here you do not need to go anywhere, open anything, but simply run the program and see the temperature values ​​\u200b\u200bof each core in the CPU section.

In HWInfo , by the way , there are also columns with the maximum and minimum value of each parameter .

speedfan

The purpose of this program is to overclock the fans and display related parameters.

But in the Readings tab, you can also see the temperature of the processor cores - Core 0, Core 1 and so on.
OCCT

A very powerful program for monitoring a variety of computer parameters, including processor temperature.

View in BIOS

The most proven way - programs can display this parameter inaccurately, and BIOS and, accordingly, UEFI (analogue of BIOS on new computers)

True, this data still needs to be found here. But there are few options in which BIOS and UEFI sections the processor temperature can be hidden:

  • PC Health Status ;
  • Status ;
  • Hardware Monitor ;
  • Monitor (may be in the "Additional" section);
  • power;
    on the home page .
    The latter is especially true for UEFI. In Figure 7, you can see several examples of where in BIOS and UEFI there is information about the t° of the processor.

Rice. 7. Several examples of displaying the processor temperature in BIOS and UEFI.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Everyone probably knows that any electronic component has resistance, and if current passes through it (and without current, the computer and all its components cannot work), then it heats up. Computers and laptops are designed in such a way that excess heat is removed to the outside and thus the normal temperature of the computer is maintained. this is how a new system unit or laptop works.

And almost all users completely forget that over time, the heat removal system can change its characteristics and then overheating of the components is inevitable. You will most likely find out about overheating through unstable system operation, reboots, a blue screen of death, or what is completely bad through a burnt component (motherboard, processor, memory or video card). I hope that this did not happen to you and you are reading this article to prevent overheating and checking the computer temperature for you will now be a simple procedure.

So, for starters, let's decide what temperature is considered normal for each of the components and which one will be critical.

What is the normal temperature of the computer, and what is already critically high

For each component of the system, its own specific temperature is considered normal.

  • what should be the temperature of the cpu

The normal temperature of the processor lies in the temperature range up to 55 degrees in the mode of continuous operation. Of course, it is better to keep the optimal temperature of the processor in the region of 30-40 degrees. How to optimize heat dissipation I will tell a little lower. If the temperature goes over 60 degrees, the processor system starts to slow down to cope with overheating. It will be expressed in slow work. When the temperature bar reaches 80 degrees, the system will start to reboot and turn off to save the life of the processor. Therefore, controlling the temperature of the processor in optimal values ​​will allow your computer or laptop to work faster.

  • What is the normal temperature for a graphics card?

For a video card, the situation is slightly different. And this is due to the large loads on the graphics processor. Accordingly, the normal temperature of the video card for each individual case is different. But general recommendations are better to know to understand the operating temperature of the video card. The main thing is to determine for what purposes it is used. It is calculated and designed for long gaming sessions or it is a video card for an office computer where graphics work is minimal. Plus, it is important to understand how powerful the cooling system is installed on it. For example, you run a powerful game on a weak video card, and it is designed for simple office work, then you will get a correspondingly higher temperature. In general, the best temperature for operation will be a range of up to 70 degrees. This is quite normal and not critical. However, for weak old cards, this can be deadly. The maximum temperature of the video card, after which we should expect some consequences, is 90-95 degrees.

  • normal motherboard temperature

With motherboards, everything is much simpler. They do not perform powerful calculations like a video processor and a processor, and, accordingly, there are practically no problems with overheating. However, it is worth knowing the normal operating temperature of the chipset. Range up to 45 degrees normal operating temperature.

  • normal temperature inside the case

By and large, the temperature inside the case does not play a special role, if all components are working in normal ranges. It is worth bothering with the temperature in the case only if you have done everything to reduce the heat on the components themselves, and overheating does not go away. Then you should think about the removal of heat from the case. Perhaps you stuffed an old case with so many powerful components that there are not enough holes for heat circulation in the case to remove it.

  • hard drive temperature

In my personal experience, I will say the following - the lower the temperature of the hard drive, the longer it will last you without problems. Try to keep the temperature under 30 degrees.

How to check computer temperature. Program for measuring computer temperature

There are several ways to view and test the temperature of components, including programs that allow you to check how the computer behaves under load.

1. Computer BIOS. This is a system written into the flash memory of the motherboard that allows your laptop or computer to boot. And most motherboards allow you to see the temperature of the components. Although this is not required. Some don't show. You can press either F2 or Del or F12 right after turning it on, depending on the type of BIOS and motherboard. There is only one "BUT". The BIOS shows the temperature as if at "idle" of your computer. Therefore, this option, although it shows it, is not very informative. Although, even if the computer overheats in this mode, then the affairs of your device are very bad. Turn it off and look for a solution to the problem.

2. The second and most correct option is a program for checking the computer temperature. There are a lot of them, but we will consider the best. And there are two in my opinion.

The first program for measuring computer temperature is HWMonitor. It is very easy to install (no installation required) and easy to use. Download the archive with the program from this link. Download one of the files (setup will need to be installed, the archive is a program that does not need to be installed). I downloaded the portable version, unpacked and ran the 64 bit version.

The window that you will see is the whole program for measuring computer temperature. We look at specific values ​​​​and analyze. Shows the minimum, maximum and current values ​​for the period since the start of the program.

Another program is a more advanced solution for analyzing and viewing characteristics. The most useful for us in this case will be a computer temperature test under load. It is called AIDA64 and you can download it from the site. There is also a version for both installation and a portable version. The program is paid, but it works for free in trial mode for a full 30 days.

Downloaded, unpacked and launched.

The temperature is displayed in the tab computer -\u003e sensors. But the most interesting is hidden in the tab " Service -> Test"

Here you will already see how your system behaves under load. We press the Start button and see how the load grows to 100 percent and the temperature rises. At some point, during high heating, Throtting appears, the processor skips frequency cycles, i.e. tries to reduce the load to lower the temperature. Despite this, my processor did not cross the critical temperature limit.

Causes of overheating and how to fix the problem

In case you have already detected overheating of the system, you should take measures:

  • The first and most common solution to the problem is to clean your system unit or laptop. In the literal sense of the word. We open the system unit and clean all the fans, cooling radiators and all openings in the case from dust for normal air circulation.
  • Secondly, it is necessary to check whether the fans work at all and how easily they spin. If the fan is worth it, be sure to replace it. I think this will solve most of the problems.
  • Third - if the first two points did not help, then it is necessary to cool the space around the radiators. This implies the creation of forced ventilation and blowing warm air. Install one blower fan first and check how much the temperature has changed.
