Speccy is a product designed to help PC users optimize their machines.
Whereas other temperature-monitoring software products stay the same for years on end, this one is continually being updated to fix bugs and add features. It won’t do much for you otherwise.Īnd it’s an open source program, too, which also makes it popular among programmers and other computer experts.
Of course, this feature is only useful if you know how to assess a normal fan speed. So, it will tell you whether or not your computer’s fans are spinning at a rate that’s able to cool it down. While CoreTemp is capable of reading the temperature of the machine’s processors, Open Hardware Monitor also reads fan speeds. However, this program is praised by users for providing a more comprehensive reading of the computer’s mechanisms. This is a free program, though, so it won’t cost you anything to try out.Īlthough Open Hardware Monitor has a slightly different interface than CoreTemp, it’s just as efficient and easy to use. However, some users have criticized the software program for installing bloatware on their computers. The makers of CoreTemp pride themselves on having created a product that leaves a “small footprint,” meaning that it takes up very little space on your computer and requires only a small amount of energy to operate.
All you have to do is install the program and open it up to get an accurate reading of your computer’s condition. Users appreciate this piece of software for its simple, easy to use interface. In Windows 10, the only other way to get access to the DTS is to read the machine’s BIOS (basic input/output system), which can be complicated for the average consumer. It’s compatible with most PCs, so it should suit your needs no matter what type of device you’re working with.Įssentially, this product works by reading the Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) in your computer’s processor.
