GoKawiilGuide outlines free tools and benchmarks for monitoring CPU temperature
Free diagnostic tools like HWiNFO, Core Temp and HWMonitor can display real-time CPU temperature readings in Celsius. Guidance suggests 60°C or below is typical for everyday use, 70-90°C warrants investigation, and 90°C or above risks overheating damage, with most modern CPUs throttling performance to self-protect before that point.
