Generally, your CPU temperatures are going to be the most important temperatures to monitor. Just remember the higher you set it, the more time it’ll take for Core Temp to notify you if your CPU is running hot.Ĭore Temp can do a lot more than this–you can head to Options > Overheat Protection to have your computer alert you when it reaches its maximum safe temperature, for example–but these basics should be all you need to keep an eye on your CPU temperatures.įor Advanced Monitoring Across Your Entire System: HWMonitor By default, it’s set to 1000 milliseconds, but you can move it higher if the blinking numbers annoy you. If you decide to show the temperature in the notification area, you may want to change the Temperature Polling Interval in the General tab of Core Temp’s settings. You can also customize the font and colors here. You can choose to display just the app’s icon, or display the temperature of your CPU–I recommend the “highest temperature” (instead of “all cores”, which will show multiple icons). Notification Area > Notification Area Icons: This allows you to customize how Core Temp appears in your notification area (or system tray, as its commonly called).Display > Hide Taskbar Button: Again, if you’re going to leave it running all the time, this is good to turn on so it doesn’t waste space on your taskbar.Display > Start Core Temp minimized: You’ll probably want to turn this on if you have “Start Core Temp with Windows” on.But if you only need the app occasionally, it’s okay to turn this off. Turning it on will allow you to monitor your temperatures at all time without having to remember to start it up. General > Start Core Temp with Windows: You can turn this on or off it’s up to you.Here are a few settings we recommend looking at: Head to Options > Settings to configure some of Core Temp’s more useful features. Max value is very important, as it ensures you’re getting the correct temperature readings for your CPU. Every processor is a little different, and having an accurate Tj.
Max for your specific processor, but you should look your specific processor online and double check. (Usually it’s best to keep it at least 10 to 20 degrees lower than that–and even then, if you’re anywhere close, it usually means something is wrong unless you’ve overclocked your CPU.)įor most modern CPUs, Core Temp should be able to detect the Tj. If your CPU is anywhere near that temperature, it is considered overheating. Max” value–this is the highest temperature (in Celsius) at which the manufacturer has rated your CPU to run.
