Still I'm not going to let an expensive laptop run without checking the temp a few times.) Someone reported that their laptop told them it was overheating, although it's been running smoothly for a while afterwards.

The CPU vendor supplied a Windows 10 driver to assist in such CPU temperature management and make sensor data available to the operating system.ĪnthonyTechGuy wrote: (i.e. One of my HP ProBooks has done so twice in almost five years when Windows 10 was running amok, and so quickly that it has powered off. Many modern general purpose CPUs have builtin temperature sensor and may need to throttle down as a means of protection against overheating. Perhaps you have only computers which need to know either the temperature of the CPU, of some other component or the computer whatever a temperature of a computer may mean. That's one piece less of equipment which may break. So system builders of devices without a need for knowing temperature may not measure such temperature. Not every computer needs to know its temperature. I also have computers that don't monitor their temperature whatever you mean by temperature of a computer. And the chipset temperature differs of the chipset temperature via ACPI model.ĪnthonyTechGuy wrote:I think all computers monitor the temperatureīut your thinking is not correct. I don't get the temperature at the fan nor the temperature at the memory sticks. when I run HWiNFO32 on my HP ProBooks, I get CPU temperature, motherboard temperature, chipset temperature, chipset temperature via ACPI model, temperature of each internal storage device.

I couldn't find your definition neither of Windows 10 PC nor of temperature of Windows 10 PC.

When you look at the data integrity aspect of this kind of query, you have to know what's normal (baseline), and you have to keep in mind the placement of the sensor. It would be easier to implement a tool.)įor each OS, 3rd party tools are typically recommended. (There are only a limited number of devices that run MacOS, so a limited number sensors that would be applicable, so a limited number of commands that would need to be executed to provide a real-time temp. This is one of those areas where standardization is not the standard.įor iOS, you would at least think they could implement a utility when they in theory have better hardware control than Linux or Windows. This is true for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This is one of those things that should be a lot simpler, but isn't.
