How do I moniter the temperature of my computer

[SlayerMalk]

never used these parts of the forums but i have a toshiba satelllite a505 and i run it outside with humidity and such and some times it gets kinda hot (no really) i was wondering if there is a way i can moniter my computers

 

usage and temperature

 

but mainly temperature

 

so if anyone could tell me how to tell the temperature of the laptop that would be great (its only a few months old so i think it has the software to do it)

Unless it has temperature sensors built in you cannot.

 

I don;t think laptops really have them built in, its more of a desktop feature and even then 9/10 its by buying and putting in your own temperature probes.

I use a simple program called HWMonitor.Could give that one a try.

 

How the program looks like:

You can use software to get access to your temperature nodes in your computer components. With most computers, you can easilty get the CPU temp, NB Temp, and GPU temp without issue. You can also buy small wired temperature probes to get ambient temperatures in your case.

HWMonitor, simply the best program when it comes to temps. It's also the first program to get the right numbers on my laptop.

I have it on my laptop and both my desktops and it works very well.

There's nothing differing a laptop cpu vs a desktop cpu in reading tempratures.

Intel and AMD doesn't disclose everything, so the tempratures are never 100% accurate (but more or less).

 

Personally i use coretemp, which has already been posted.

i called best buy and asked for geek sqaud put me on hold for like 10 min :/ then i got bounced like 3 times but apparently they were all busy. the sales assosiate said that normally its a 3rd party download he asked me if i wanted two different types of temperatures *confused face*

 

all i want to know is how hot it is inside of my computer
