In brief
AI summaryAn overheating CPU can cause everything from poor performance to crashes, so checking CPU temperature helps keep the processor running at peak performance.
On Windows, download HWiNFO and select Sensors-only to see the CPU's Current, Minimum, Maximum and Average temperature in degrees Celsius; on Mac, use TG Pro, which can also set fan curves.
AMD users can read temperature, voltages and per-core clock speeds in Ryzen Master, and Intel users can check key CPU information in the bottom panel of Intel XTU.

Measuring or checking your CPU temperature is an extremely important step in making sure your processor is running at peak performance, because an overheating processor can lead to all kinds of general computer problems, from poor performance to crashes. There are several different ways to check your CPU temperature.
How Do You Measure CPU Temperature on Windows? 2023
- Download HWiNFO from the official website, then install the app.
- When you launch HWiNFO, if you only want temperature information, select Sensors-only; otherwise you can access the whole set of tools and look at all your system components in detail.
- Your CPU will be listed with Current, Minimum, Maximum and Average values in degrees Celsius, telling you how your CPU temperature changes over time and workload.
- If you can't see the CPU temperature right away, scroll down to find it under the CPU heading. If you still can't find it, select the gear icon to enter the Settings menu, then check the box next to Temperatures at the top of the page.
How Do You Measure CPU Temperature on a Mac? 2023
- Download and install TG Pro from the official website.
- TG Pro can also be used to adjust your system's cooling, including manually setting fan curves, and lets you check your system's temperatures no matter what you do.
How Do You Measure AMD CPU Temperature? 2023
- Download and install Ryzen Master from the official website.
- When you run the app, at the top of the screen you'll see a breakdown of your processor's stats, including temperature, voltages, usage and more. You can also look at individual cores by clock speed and temperature.
How Do You Measure Intel CPU Temperature? 2023
- Download and install Intel XTU from the official website.
- You'll be presented with a lot of information on launch, but in the bottom panel of the main screen you'll see a few key pieces of information about your CPU.
