There are two ways to check CPU temperature in Windows 11:
1. Using the BIOS or UEFI
Restart your computer and press the key to enter BIOS or UEFI. The key varies depending on your computer manufacturer, but it is usually F12, ESC, F2, or DEL.
Once you are in BIOS or UEFI, look for the CPU temperature reading. It is usually located under the "System Information" or "Monitor" tab.
Make note of the CPU temperature and then exit BIOS or UEFI.
2. Using a third-party app
There are many third-party apps that can be used to check CPU temperature in Windows 11. Some popular options include:
Core Temp
Open Hardware Monitor
HWMonitor
Speccy
To use a third-party app, simply download and install it on your computer. Once installed, launch the app and look for the CPU temperature reading.
What is a good CPU temperature?
A good CPU temperature depends on the type of CPU you have. However, as a general rule of thumb, you want to keep your CPU temperature below 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit). If your CPU temperature gets too high, it can throttle its performance to prevent damage.
If you are concerned about your CPU temperature, you can try to reduce it by cleaning the dust out of your computer case and improving airflow. You can also try using a CPU cooler.
