![]() ![]() If my voltages and especially the +12V was that low, this computer would not be running. For example, right now, it says my +3.3V is 2.028 V, +5V is 3.367 V, and my +12VDC is only 0.048 VDC. Sadly, while Speccy is one of my favorite HW information/specs program, it frequently is very inaccurate for temps and especially for voltages. And 19☌ in Redding, California in the middle of a heat wave is unlikely too, unless, maybe, your computer is sitting in front of the air conditioner vent. BUT there is NO WAY a CPU can be colder than the ambient (room) temperature with conventional (air) cooling. And because CPU temps can skyrocket in just a few clock cycles, and then plummet just as quickly, it is not uncommon for two different monitoring programs to give different values. So while you say "AT THE SAME TIME", it most likely is a couple seconds apart. Some programs may sample the sensor every 2 seconds, others every 5 seconds, others every 1.5million CPU clock cycles. This is because, once again, there are no standards for sampling rates or sampling times. Note there will almost always be small differences. If there is a consistent and large discrepancy between monitoring programs, then probably the sensor is faulty. That means if a hex number of 1ef8c7b4 = 60☌, then every monitoring program should represent that 1ef8c7b4 as 60☌. The sensor makers publish this information and make it available to all the hardware makers and monitoring software developers. There is nothing proprietary or magical or secret about that hexadecimal number. And the monitoring programs then take that hexadecimal number and convert it into an understandable Celsius or Fahrenheit value. The only consistent part is what they do - they sense a temperature and represent that value with a hexadecimal number. ![]() They are not precision, medical-grade quality by any means. That is, they are very low-tech, cheap devices. And then every motherboard/BIOS/Chipset maker have their own way of monitoring temps.Īnother problem is these sensor devices are a dime a dozen. ![]() Even between AMD and Intel, there are no standards. That is, there is no standard for which type sensor, where they are placed, or how they are monitored. This should load your BIOS / UEFI interface, which for many Windows 10 users will include a CPU temperature readout.Click to expand.There is no good reason but I note part of the problem is there is no industry standard for sensors. This is also where you can view the system restore and startup settings, as well as other recovery options. It should interrupt just before your typical boot and login procedures, and it will provide several advanced startup options. Your device will power down as usual and begin to restart. Scroll down to the Advanced startup heading and select the Restart now button.The new sidebar should load alongside the Update & Recovery panel. Select the Recovery tab in the left sidebar.Scroll down to the Update & Recovery tab at the bottom of the Windows Settings index.This will open a new index and search bar under the Windows Settings header. It should be just above the Taskbar icon and your PC’s shutdown options. Select the Settings button, indicated by a white gear icon.Open the Windows Taskbar at the lower left corner of your screen.It’s also important to remember that different methods may only apply to some users. In this procedure, you’ll rely on your device’s BIOS or UEFI (the contemporary equivalent of a BIOS interface) to check CPU temperature, as well as other hardware information and settings. First, let’s look at the DIY method for checking CPU temp on a Windows 10 computer. ![]()
