1 Why is temperature important?

The temperature of your computer is an indication of the heat generated by the components inside your case, such as the CPU, GPU, RAM, and hard drive. This heat is a natural consequence of electrical activity, however too much can be damaging to your computer. Overheating can lead to a reduction in the lifespan of your components, cause unexpected shutdowns or restarts, trigger thermal throttling which reduces performance to reduce heat output, and even corrupt data or cause errors in software.

Overheating can also significant damage in some components like laptop batteries. If your laptop battery is hot for too long it could cause the battery to bulge or even catch fire. If your laptop battery is hot to the touch, shut down the computer, remove the power cable, and consider replacing the battery, power adapter, or both.

2 How to check your temperature manually?

One way to check your computer's temperature is to open your case and touch the components with your hand. However, this method is not very accurate, safe, or convenient. You might burn yourself, damage your components, or introduce dust or static electricity into your case. A better way is to use a thermometer or a thermal probe, which can give you a precise reading of the temperature of a specific component. However, these devices are not very common or cheap, and you might need to open your case anyway to use them.

Please do not ever touch any computer hardware parts inside your case unless you understand and know what you are doing. You will not get an accurate reading touching these parts.

I disagree with this method entirely. The article should not recommend testing PC temperature by hand. It is extremely unsafe. A thermal probe will also not give very accurate results. Software tools should be the first recommendation.

3 How to check your temperature with software?

Checking your computer's temperature is more convenient and reliable using software tools that monitor and display the temperature of components in real time. There are many free and paid software options available, such as HWMonitor, SpeedFan, Core Temp, and MSI Afterburner. HWMonitor is a popular and comprehensive tool that shows temperature, voltage, fan speed, and power consumption of your CPU, GPU, motherboard, hard drive, and more. SpeedFan is a versatile tool that shows the temperature, fan speed, and voltage of components and allows for manual or automatic fan speed control. Core Temp is a simple and lightweight tool that shows the temperature and load of each core of your CPU while supporting overclocking and alerts. MSI Afterburner is a powerful tool that shows the temperature, fan speed, clock speed, and usage of your GPU while allowing you to overclock, adjust fan curves, and record gameplay.

The only tool worth much these days are OEM ones, or HWINFO64. The rest either are inaccurate, have offsets that aren't calculated, or have questionable histories or including malware / spyware. Afterburner is fine, but for most commercial workplace applications it's appearance and use case doesn't make sense.

4 How to check your temperature with hardware?

If you want to check your computer's temperature without opening your case, you can use hardware devices that can monitor and display the temperature of your components. These devices usually connect to your motherboard or power supply, and can show the temperature on a screen, panel, or LED indicator. For example, the Thermaltake Commander FT is a touch screen fan controller that shows the temperature and fan speed of up to five fans, allowing you to adjust the fan speed and mode. The NZXT Sentry 3 is another touch screen fan controller that has similar features. Additionally, the Thermaltake Riing Quad is a set of four RGB fans that show the temperature and fan speed of your components on the fan blades, allowing you to customize the lighting effects and modes.

5 How to lower your temperature?

If you find your computer's temperature is too high, there are steps you can take to lower it and prevent overheating. Cleaning your case and fans regularly to remove dust and improve airflow is recommended. Additionally, replacing your stock cooler with a liquid cooler or a high-end air cooler can help. Furthermore, adding more fans or upgrading the existing ones can increase airflow and cooling efficiency. Applying new thermal paste or pads to your components can also improve heat transfer and conductivity. Undervolting or underclocking your components can reduce power consumption and heat output, while optimizing settings and software can reduce the load and stress on your components.

For laptops, ensure that you are using the device on a hard, flat surface. This ensures that the built in fans can effectively bring cool air into the device, and prevents heat from becoming trapped inside. You can also purchase laptop stands with additional fans which can further increase airflow and cooling on particularly hot systems.

The article should provide a standard range of temperatures that should be expected from temperature measurements. It's important to note that PC temps are usually measured in Celsius. A standard temperature range could vary from between 15°C - 60°C, depending on the computer and it's workload. Temperatures over 60°C are typically considered undesirable and may damage the hardware if maintained for too long.
