CPUID — System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
HWMonitor for Windows on x86 is a hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors : voltages, temperatures, powers, currents, fans speed, utilizations, clock speeds …
The program handles :
- CPU and GPU-level hardware monitoring
- LPCIO chips with monitoring features (ITE® IT87 series, Winbond® and Nuvoton® ICs)
- memory modules with thermal sensors
- SSD / hard disks via S.M.A.R.T.
- batteries
- and more …
Install and Remove
Installation (setup version only)
Run the setup executable file, and let it guide you for the installation process.
Removal (setup version only)
You can remove the program either from the Add or Remove Programs window (from Settings, Control Panel), or choose Uninstall HWMonitor from Start menu, Programs, CPUID, HWMonitor.

Programmist про HWMonitor 1.30 [05-01-2017]
Когда только начинал работать сравнивал с платной AIDA — отличия в показателях были незначительные. В Windows 10 нужно запускать от имени администратора, у обычных пользователей показываются не все параметры. В целом доволен, во время работы в браузере может перегреваться проц. — тогда закрываю страницы и жду.

- The best CPU temperature monitor software helps you monitor real-time CPU temps.
- We have compiled a list of reliable PC temperature monitoring software for Windows PC and laptops.
The PC temperature monitoring software has become an essential tool especially when your computer performance gets slower and you need to diagnose the core problem. Plus if you love to play modern games or are in a habit of overclocking your PC then you need to take a closer look at your overheated CPU, increased fan speed, or voltage fluctuation.
While you run resource-intensive tasks overheating can cause serious hardware problems. Besides your CPU should run within a normal temperature range. But to know what is the normal temp limit you need the best CPU temperature monitor software for Windows 10 PC that shows you the live temperature of your CPU.
Quick Summary of the Best CPU Temp Monitoring Software

What is the Best CPU Temperature Monitor Software For Windows 10 PC?
In this article, we have listed the all-time best CPU temp monitors. The programs mentioned here are Free to download. These temp monitors are free from malware and display accurate temp readings.
You will also feel that each PC monitoring software has its bells and whistles. So, it will be up to you to decide which CPU temp monitoring software for Windows you like the most.
1. Core Temp
Starting with the list of best CPU temp monitoring software we have placed AlCPU Core Temp in the first place. Why because it’s a lightweight, compact, yet powerful tool that will help you monitor your PC’s CPU temp. This tool is designed to perform only one task and that is to display individual CPU core temp, voltage, model, frequency, and TJ.Max ratio.
This tool displays the most accurate temp readings without any fuss. Just download and install Core Temp’s latest version on Windows 10 and open it (During installation makes sure that you uncheck all unwanted bloatware). It will add up in the system tray to keep you on top of your temp readings. This temp monitor support all x86-based processors of Intel and AMD.
To show you quick and accurate readings Core Temp utilizes Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS) that all x86 CPUs placed on them. You can also download Core Temp on Windows 11, 10, 7, 8, Vista, and XP.
To prevent computers from overheating this tool has an overheating protection feature. When your CPU gets too hot it automatically puts your PC to sleep. Besides the basic Core Temp program, users can download add-ons to increase its functionality. For Example, you can Download the Core Temp Monitor app that allows users to monitor devices on Windows and Android phones
2. HWMonitor
HWMonitor is the most popular CPU temperature monitoring tool cum system hardware monitor. Not only you can monitor what your current CPU temp is, but you can also get a complete picture of your PC’s internal hardware. At a glance, you can see core voltage, operating frequency, load, GPU temp, fan speed, storage devices, and many more.
If you are confused about what readings are useful and which to ignore then read our post on how to read HWMonitor. If you are new to this software then that post will help you understand HWMonitor.
We are a big fan of this computer temperature monitor because once you download HWMonitor you won’t need to ask that old rusty question that how to check CPU temperature on Windows PC.
You can also download the installable HWMonitor Version or the Portable version in . the Zip folder. Although this temp monitor is free to use however CPUID has the HWMonitor Pro version. The Pro version adds remote monitoring, graph generation, and an improved user interface in a nominal price.
3. SpeedFan
SpeedFan may be older than Windows XP still it’s the best CPU temperature monitor software in 2021. Not only does it gives you accurate temp readings but it also lets you control PC fan speed. You can easily increase the CPU fan speed of your desktop PC or laptop so that it remains within the ideal RPM range. The whole purpose is to prevent overheating and enhance PC performance.
SpeedFan is a free and reliable utility for Windows PC but it lacks support for Mac OS. Mac users can use a Mac fan controller to manually change the fan speed.
You can set up a warning in case the CPU temperature gets high. This way it will send you an email or pop-up notification to let you know that the computer temperature is getting high.
Download ALmico SpeedFan’s latest version, it is one of the best fan speed control software for Windows. With this PC temp monitor, you can easily set up RPM to 100% under extreme circumstances.
To show accurate readings SpeedFan uses digital temperature sensors (DTS) placed on processors and provides reliable temperature readings. This free tool also supports Windows 7, 8, Vista, and XP.
4. MSI Afterburner
If you are a gamer and you want to push your gaming experience to the next level then MSI Afterburner is the best CPU temp monitor. It’s a PC overclocking tool with a built-in ability to monitor CPU, GPU, and fan speed.
If you know what you are doing then you can push your system’s graphical performance beyond its limit. MSI afterburner can help you to keep in touch with your system’s overall performance. Its new beta version is highly compatible with the Windows 10 64-bit version.
MSI Afterburner also lets you monitor FPS while playing games. If you are new to this tool then you can enable the FPS counter in MSI Afterburner and constantly monitor the frame per second while playing your favorite games. Although Microsoft has introduced a built-in FPS counter in Windows 10 it’s not catchy as compared to this tool.
