What's the best software that is free for monitoring tempurature of your pc?

[RPG Gamer Man]

Ive read intensive games like this make your pc work, unless you really have a good one. I know about monitoring the temperature using the BIOS, but i would prefer montoring it from the desktop. Is there any good montoring pc temperature software that allows to check from the desktop?

Im worried it might be overheating my pc too much..

Likely your card manufacturer has it - its usually included as part of an overclocking software package.


But if you haven't overclocked your card, broke the fans, or obstructed the airflow, its *highly* unlikely that you're in danger of overheating it.

Well the last time i played Fallout 4, it was running my pc real hot. I really don't want to overclock it. As for my card manufacturer has it, i don't understand what you mean. I know where to check the tempurature on the BIOS, i just want a way to check it on the desktop so i don't have to boot the BIOS everytime i check the tempurature.

How hot? 40c? 50-55c? That's not unusual (or too hot). If you're hitting 90 then there's some worry.

And I'm not talking about you *actually* overclocking it - but a lot of overclocking software has temp monitors included. You don't have to actually overclock the card to monitor its temperature that way.

As for the card manufacturer - that's the people who *made* your card. Nvidia and AMD just provide chipsets. Those are installed on boards by third party manufacturers and sold that way. Even OEM cards that come with your online ordered computer are made by someone else and installed.

Speccy offers a bit more in depth info, HW Monitor is cleaner for monitoring primarily temps and voltages.
