We are used to talking about temperature when it comes to weather and we  complain about the raised temperature in summer. Our machines are also  affected by raised temperature. The most common victim of heat is the  personal computer. Of course, we are not talking about by the heat of  the sun, but of the heat produced by computer’s components while it is  working.

This heat comes from the Central Processing Unit, in order to keep  our machine working in a proper manner and not suddenly shut down we  should be carefully watching the CPU temperature. Companies have noticed  this need and developed series of software, so that we could choose.  The best part is that some of them we can find for free on the Internet.

First of all, we should talk about a product developed by Intel: Real  Temp. It reads temperature from Intel Core processors, but it provides  no support for Pentium 4.  How does it work? It gathers information due  to Fluke 62 IR Thermometer. There is no need for registration in order  to install the product. When your CPU reaches an alarming point, then an  alarm will announce you and in the same time your computer shuts down.

In case you want to choose the most popular of all free software,  well here comes: SpeedFan. It checks not only the status of your  hard-disk, but also the status of your motherboard. Sometimes the noise  your computer makes while you are watching a movie or after hours and  hours of intense usage is the result of a raised temperature. As a  result SpeedFan proposes you ways of reducing the noise. Moreover it is  useful because it can control the speed of the fan while monitoring your  computer’s temperature.

CPU Temperature monitor acts like a thermometer and provides you live  information about the CPU temperature. It monitors your computer from  the moment you open your machine until you turn if off.  You will not  waste your time searching for your CPU thermometer as it shows on your  desktop an icon that opens at one click. You may ask what kind of  information this software can give, well you will see: the Core Number,  CPUID, frequency and temperature. The only fact you have to keep in mind  is that without Microsoft.NET Framework the free software cannot be  installed.

Furthermore Core Temp is free software for monitoring your CPU  temperature. What is truly impressive about this program? Obviously, the  fact that Core Temp measures the temperature of every core your system  has. To fully secure your computer, it has an automatic hibernate  option, so do not get scared if your computer goes to sleep after  reaching a certain temperature.

There is also free software that monitors the temperature o your hard  drives: HDD Temperature. You are in fully control with this program,  due to the fact that you choose what point should the temperature reach  so that HDD Temperature announces you or shut your machine down.
