<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-4">Windows 11 doesn’t have a built-in way to check your CPU temperature, but you can check it in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFI" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFI">UEFI</a> or <a href="https://www.britannica.com/technology/BIOS">BIOS</a> before Windows starts up. If you want to monitor the CPU temperature while Windows 11 is running, you can use a third-party app like Speccy, or a utility from a CPU, GPU, or peripheral manufacturer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-6">Some peripherals, like gaming mice and headsets, include software that lets you check and monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures in real time. This software is typically geared toward managing the specific peripheral, but it can also be useful for checking CPU temp without needing to install additional software. Intel and AMD also provide tools for checking your CPU temperature, typically packaged with an overclocking utility. For example, you can check your CPU temperature using Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility and AMD’s Ryzen Master app.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-8">Checking CPU Temperature Using UEFI</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-9">UEFI and BIOS are types of <a href="https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/firmware">firmware</a> that are responsible for starting up your computer before Windows 11 takes over. Every PC has either UEFI or BIOS, and you can typically check your CPU temperature there, so this is a good option if you don’t want to install any additional software, and you don’t happen to already have an app that’s capable of displaying your CPU temperature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-11">The catch with this method is that you can only access your UEFI or BIOS during the boot process, before Windows 11 starts, so you can’t use this method to see the CPU temperature when you’re actually using Windows, playing a game, or performing any other resource-intensive tasks that can cause the CPU to heat up.</p>
