How do I monitor CPU temperature?


Too much heat damages electronics. Monitoring the temperature of CPU and other computer components keep them running appropriately. To properly use most software of this type, you will need to ensure you have ACPI functionality enabled in your motherboard BIOS.

First Generation Monitoring Solutions:
Monitoring Temperature in System Bios
Numerous PC motherboards now contain hardware monitoring circuits those are capable to measure heat, voltages, and fan speeds. The majority of modern motherboards also allow you to configure alerts, alarms and actions to take based on specific temperature and fan settings.

Second Generation Monitoring Solutions:
The first generation of CPU (processor) temperature monitoring software packages purely gave the CPU temperature correct value. There is no alarms indication, events, or actions could be defined; it is very poor technology so the user must take of his or her system, to prevent the damages from the heat. If the user wasn't watching, the system could easily overheat and cause system damage.
The second generation sensor circuits have the ability to regulate and control environmental conditions automatically, so that second generation solutions are enough to keep the system stable when heat is an issue, and quiet when it isn't.

Third Generation Monitoring Solutions:
This is the newest technology software, it is directly interact with the mother board sensor and fan control system to control the heat according to the system environment condition. The mother board companies started to cover their customers and they like to give high performances from their mother board. So they are giving free software’s with their mother board.
