How to check cpu temperature in windows 10

Hi Ivan,
Windows does not have a built-in tool for this function.
I am using Speccy free. It is completely free, safe, and it works quite well plus it will give you much information about your overall system as well.

Hope this helps you,

Hello Ivan,
There is no such option to check CPU temperature in Windows 10.
You can either check the temperature in BIOS or you can use third-party applications.
BIOS :
Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.
Third party application Disclaimer:
Disclaimer: Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.

Thank you.
Then HOW does one know if computer is running hot?
