Semiconductors, which are the main material from which modern microcircuits are created, are extremely sensitive to high temperatures. And if we take into account the heat emission level of the currently relevant central and graphic processors, which sometimes exceeds 100 watts, the program installed in the system for monitoring the temperature of computer components seems no longer superfluous.
In the segment of such utilities, there are currently both highly specialized programs "tailored" for products of certain manufacturers, and peculiar "combines" that allow monitoring the readings of a huge range of temperature sensors of almost all devices that support this feature.

Both major manufacturers of graphics processors, as part of their drivers, also supply special utilities to “monitor” the state of the video card, including and GPU temperature. But at the same time, strangely enough, the same MSI Afterburner utility does not “load” the system so much, plus it has richer functionality.
