CPUTempWatch

CPUTempWatch won't surprise you with hidden functionality. It's a straightforward app that any PC builder should have in the toolbox. It shows the behavior of your CPU together with the temperature evolution depending on the various scenarios you put your machine's brain through. It's a tool, so it doesn't look good, and the offered functions do feel extremely raw at times. Still, it is very helpful in detecting CPU issues.

The idea with these types of apps is to help the user as much as possible while not being intrusive in any kind of way. You can also program this utility to come forward once a certain threshold has been passed in the temperature registered by the CPU sensor. Thus, if things get out of hand, you'll immediately know, but if things remain cool, the app will not bother you with unnecessary messages. The user can also write a protocol file, custom name it, and save it locally for later use.

Features:

• Straightforward CPU behavior display


• Temperature evolution tracking


• Programmable threshold alerts


• Protocol file creation and saving

Specifications:

• Supported CPU types: Intel Core, Core Duo, i3, i5, i7, Atom


• Not compatible with: AMD CPUs


• Available for: Desktop and Laptop PCs


• Price: Free

If you're an AMD fan, this app won't really be of any use. Even if you're an Intel aficionado, this app will only help users with Intel Core, Core Duo, i3, i5, and i7. Laptop owners will be pleased to hear that the smaller Atom CPUs will also have support. Unfortunately, this means that not all users will be able to benefit from this app's temp reading. This is too bad, as the explicit temperature development graph and the constant data the user is fed is indeed valuable for making sure your PC is working properly.

CPUTempWatch is a simple application that will help individuals better keep an eye on the stress their CPU is put under when operating at various speeds and in various scenarios. If you're looking to make sure your CPU performs well enough, this app can help you with that.
