How to check temps?

[TheTurtleKing]

Hi, I apologize for this pathetically noob question, but how do I check temps on windows? 

 

Thanks.

gpu or cpu temps? I think newer versions of msi afterburner can monitor the temps of both the cpu and gpu...

I'd prefer both.

Are you implying I have to install more programs?

As far as I know there isnt anything built into windows to check temps.

You can use hwinfo for cpu and other (on my laptop it doesnt show the gpu) but it might show in yours, just extract it and click on "sensors only". This program is very light 4mb soo not a huge problem and this is for 64 bit version. you can download it from here:https://www.fosshub.com/HWiNFO.html for 32bit

I use MSI Afterburner on my main pc and on my laptop, it works great for CPU and GPU.

Here's a link: https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner

Personally, the program I prefer is Speccy. I've never seen anything wrong with it and has a very simple layout. The free version is fine, but make sure to not install CCleaner on the download. https://www.piriform.com/speccy
