Description
CPU Temp is a free software for real-time monitoring of temperature, usage, clock speed, power consumption, and other CPU parameters. Compatible with Windows 11 and earlier versions.
Main Features:
Customizable Interface:
- Over 40 themes and color palettes.
- Intuitive layout with a side navigation bar, centered graphs, and CPU information section.
Real-Time Monitoring:
- Visual Thermal Indicator: Colors (green: 1-60°C, orange: 61-85°C, red: above 85°C) alert about thermal status.
- Detailed Metrics: CPU package temperature, Tj Max, distance to Tj Max, usage, clock, power consumption (per core or total), and VID (requested voltage).
Graphs and Analysis:
- Distribution Graphs: Show average temperature, load, clock, and power per core over adjustable periods (default: 5 minutes).
- Data Export: Saves sensor information in CSV format.
- Advanced Features:
- Customizable Settings: Adjust temperature ranges, graph analysis periods, and units (Celsius/Fahrenheit).
- Educational Information: Explanations about safe temperatures, effects of overheating (e.g., throttling), and common causes of high temperatures (e.g., overclocking, inadequate airflow).
System Integration:
- System tray icon for quick access.
- Compatibility with various hardware sensors, including GPU.
Technical Highlights:
- Thermal Protection: Explains mechanisms such as clock throttling, voltage reduction, and TDP/PL1/PL2 limits to avoid damage.
- User Guidance: Practical tips for resolving overheating issues (e.g., cleaning fans, replacing thermal paste).
