TECHiE TALKS

Of all the Computer Parts the Processor is the most expensive and the most important part.  It Plays a great role in processing all your needs.  Like in a human body it serves as the brain, everything that a computer does is being processed by the Processor or also known as the CPU or the Central Processing Unit. Monitoring it is important to keep it healthy and always working.  I’m quite sure that we don’t want to buy another processor to get things up again unless you are upgrading.

Not taking care of your CPU is very risky and gives you a lot more trouble.  Too much heat can shorten your CPU’s lifespan, at times your computer suddenly freezes without any reason, it suddenly restarts or the CPU can burn because of too much heat exhaustion .  This are few of the effects of not taking good care of your CPU.

Monitoring CPU’s Temperature is also one of the important task that user/owner must do.  But how do we monitor the CPU’s temperature?  Do we need to restart and go to the BIOS and check? Or are there any CPU Meter available online which can be directly downloaded for free? How do I know my CPU is in too much heat?

To answer the questions, yes there are free CPU meters online and one of the best in which I’m using is the CPUID its a x86 technical resources.  It can be downloaded for free and its very easy to use.  No need to install, just click on the item and will give you an exact result of your CPU’s core temperatures.  This CPU meter is the simplest yet free to download CPU temperature meter.

CPUID is portable and can be used in almost all types of CPU whether you are using AMD or INTEL Processors, its not a problem at all.

How to know whether the temperature you are having is not high enough to ruin everything?  You can look at your CPU’s manual and try to check how much is the normal working temperature or visit their website and check .  After,  compare the CPU meter’s result and your manual’s maximum temperature if its a lot higher then you need to shut it off or you need to ventilate you computer well to keep the temperature low.  Though to some CPU it has an auto shutdown feature when it reaches the maximum temperature.  Checking it once in a while will keep you CPU healthy and working.
