Is there a way to
tell how hot my CPU is running?
Question:Is there a way to tell how hot my CPU is running?
Answer:The Motherboard manufacturer or CPU manufacturer must have a
thermal sensor, or
have the capability to have a temperature device installed by or under the CPU that
measures the heat. Unfortunately, this all depends on the manufacturer,
and not all manufacturers include such a device. If your computer tells the temperature of your CPU as you're
booting up the computer or in the BIOS
it is more than likely you have one of these devices and can get a
desktop management Interface-based program, either provided by your
motherboard manufacturer,
or off of the Internet to view the temperature from within your
operating system.

If you are uncertain if your computer
and/or motherboard manufacturer supports such a device, please see the
documentation of the computer/motherboard or contact the computer
and/or motherboard manufacturer.
