While the computer is operating normally, we have no questions. But sooner or later, crashes and malfunctions arise. We notice that on some programs the computer starts to slow down, sometimes even freeze, the fans run more noisily, and sometimes there are situations when the system spontaneously shuts down or reboots. All these problems are most often associated with overheating of the processor and nearby elements.
The processor may overheat due to accumulated dust on the blocks and fans, fans may run slower due to dry thermal paste and also because of a whole bunch of related problems. In order to take adequate measures, you need to know the temperature of the elements at low load and during forced operation.You need to check the processor temperature if the first crashes and malfunctions appear, or simply as a preventative measure. To assess the degree of overheating, you need to know what temperature is considered normal. Based on data from many studies have determined that the processor is in the normal mode (working in a word processor or Internet usage) should be at a temperature no higher than 45 on the C, enhanced mode (games, video conversion or archiving) processor temperature should not exceed 60 about C. V
Ideally, the rate should not be higher than 50 for C, but this can only be achieved on a new energy-saving models.
Now you just have to check the processor temperature , compare it with the indicated values, and take appropriate measures. One thing is for sure - cleaning the computer from dust is necessary in any case, even if it still works fine.
How to check CPU temperature
The standard temperature thresholds are known, you need to measure the real
CPU temperature on your computer. This can be done using special software. The program for temperature control can be paid or free. Moreover, many free ones do an excellent job of their tasks, but paid ones have advanced functionality. True, he is needed mainly by professionals. For home use, it is enough and simply to qualitatively determine the temperature of the processor and components.«» «» :

How to measure the temperature of the processor, you know what to compare with - too. To determine the complexity and magnitude of the problems you only need to get specific data. You just have to use one of these programs to check the temperature of the processor and choose ways to solve the problem: dusting, replacing thermal paste, installing additional cooling elements.
