CPU Temperature Monitoring

Monitoring your CPU temperature is very important for your computer’s performance and stability. Specially for today's powerful computer systems it  is highly recommended

to check the CPU temperature after overclocking or a new hardware upgrade and installation, that the CUP is running within the optimum temperature level. If your PC is randomly restarting or shutting down it is probably your CPU is getting extremely hot for its poor cooling support. Monitor your CPU temperature with Core Temp software and test CPU load capacity using the Real Temp tool to make sure its getting sufficient cooling and running within the safe temperature limit. If the CPU temperature is exceeding the limit, check the CPU cooler and make sure it is mounted properly. Sometimes improper usage of thermal paste between CPU and the CPU cooler fails to transfer the heat from CPU and makes it hotter.

CPU Temperature Monitoring Software:

All Intel single Core, Dual Core, Quad Core and Core i7 processors has a digital thermal sensor (DTS) that reports temperature data relative to TJMax which is the safe maximum operating core temperature for the CPU. As your CPU heats up, your closer to the TJMax (Tjunction Max) limit. If it reaches zero, your processor will start to thermal throttle or slow down so maximizing your distance away from TJMax. If temperature exceeds TJMax of the processor's, THERMTRIP# signal will activate shutdown to prevent damage to the processor.

Real Temp temperature monitoring program designed to gather CPU information from each processor core individually and show its stability status. Along with displaying the actual CPU temperature in Celsius degrees, Real Temp also provides the distance to TJMax, which represents the safe maximum operating core temperature for the processor. Real Temp can be used to test the status of a processor by running a stress test using Prime 95 software. Download Free Real Temp. Real Temp File Size 323 KB. Real Temp Website

Core Temp  is the software that helps you to accurately monitor your computer's CPU minimum and maximum temperature, frequency, load percentage in real-time. Core Temp  supports the Intel and AMD "DTS" (Digital Thermal Sensor) technology, which provides much higher accuracy and more relevant temperature reading than the standard thermal diode sensors. This feature is supported on all Intel i3, i5, i7 series of processors as well as the whole AMD´s FX series of CPUs. Download FreeCore Temp. Core Temp File Size 608 KB. Core Temp Website
