How To Monitor GPU / CPU Temperature?

If you're a gamer or a power user, maxing out your CPU for heavy tasks, such as video editing or encoding, then you have probably faced the problem of processor overheating or thermal throttling. As a gamer it's critical that you monitor both the graphics card and the processor to ensure the temperature in the core temperatures remain within the manufactures recommended limits. If temperatures approach threshold, throttling may occur, drastically affecting performance and causing frame drop, micro stutter, glitching or input lag. This article covers the optimal strategies for monitoring your GPU and CPU temperatures and keeping them at optimal temperature levels.




You can use a wide variety of utility programs to monitor temperatures, but if that is not your thing, or only want to check once if you suspect overheating, then use your computer’s BIOS. To access your motherboards BIOS interface, restart your gaming computer and press the Delete/Insert/ Random F key (check your bios manual to confirm the key, or watch for on screen instructions during POST) button during the booting up process.
