Keeping a close eye on CPU temperature is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect performance and extend the life of a Windows 11 PC, and Core Temp remains a compact, reliable tool for real‑time, per‑core thermal monitoring.
Background
Modern processors include on‑die temperature...
Checking your PC’s CPU temperature is quick, non‑invasive, and one of the easiest ways to spot cooling problems, diagnose sudden slowdowns, and protect a high‑performance system from thermal throttling or damage. The simplest approach is to run a small utility that reads the CPU’s built‑in...
Hi there, the CPU is constantly displaying 100% in windows task manager > users tab. However when I try other 3rd party programs the CPU is displaying correctly at idle 1%. Is this a bug? Or is there any way to fix it? I am sure the CPU is at 1% when left idle.

I just cleaned my PC, again and it caused me to talk about this, again & yes, I know it is, again, but, that is just OK.
I do this periodically and on a regular basis... and everyone should. I feel it is good to mention this, again, as I believe many, if not too many people don't make it...

Electronics and certainly PCs do not like heat. It is important that these devices stay cool @ all times and throughout their lifetime. That said, here is one of those "Best Practice" things that I suggest all too often does not even occur to people and that they do not think about or do on...

I installed Oracle a few months ago. (I have since uninstalled it.)
Ever since, my sidebar gadget "all cpu meter" has been broken.
I'm not 100% sure that Oracle installation is directly responsible, but it's the best thing I can come up with.

I think the default CPU Meter Gadget sucks. I have, instead, for a long time, been using the ALL CPU Meter. To it I have, also, been using Core Temp so the core temps would, also, show on the ALL CPU Meter. Was a wee bit of a pain, few steps to enable this part w/ any boot-up. Well, I've...

Hi there, Just randomly started getting BSODs today. Had a few of them now... at random times. BSOD error code: memory_management I can't figure out when it happens... sometimes when I close a program, sometimes in the middle of a game.. no idea. And it seems to have messed up some bits...
Have a e6600 dual core, evga 680i board, 4 gb ddr26400, gtx260, win 7 pro upgraded from vista. I have looked all over and tried almost everything. BIOS detects dual core as it allows me to enable or disable the second one, and intel proc id tool detects 2 cores. However, windows 7, and any...
I have just moved from the wonderful world of XP up to the dreaded Windows 7. So much has changed and it's going to take quite a bit to get use to this new interface. My problem has more to do with my living arrangements than computer. I am on the 3rd floor of a house with little to no A/C...

I formatted and installed Windows 7 home premium on my Samsung r 700 laptop (specification- Intel dual core t5550, 3 GB of RAM, 250 gig hard drive and the nvidia geforce 8400m gs graphics chipset) two weeks ago.
The installation went without a problem and I managed to get all...
