During the operation of the computer, such important components as the processor and the motherboard are heated. Therefore, effective cooling and regular monitoring of the temperature inside the system unit are necessary conditions for the functioning of a PC. Measured by special sensors, the temperature data can be read by various programs. The Basic Input / Output System (BIOS) also receives this data. You can find out the temperature in the BIOS at the current time when you boot your computer. To do this, just go into the BIOS and open the appropriate section.
Instructions
Step 1
Turn on your computer. If the computer has already been turned on, start the reboot process from the Start menu - Turn off the computer - Restart.
Step 2
Go to BIOS. To do this, at the beginning of the download, for the first time a few seconds after turning on the PC, press the "Delete" key on the keyboard. For some BIOS versions, you need to press the "Esc" or "F8" key. An interactive BIOS shell appears on the monitor screen. Initially, you will be in the first section "Main".
Step 3
Go to the "Power" section. To do this, double-click the left arrow key on your keyboard. The active window will move to two tabs. The screen will display information about the system power, where the temperature is presented in the BIOS.
Step 4
Select the item "Hardware Monitor" in the window. To do this, move the cursor using the arrow key "down" to this line and press "Enter".
Step 5
In the next window that opens, the first two items will display the desired system parameters. The item "CPU Temperature" shows the temperature of the processor, "MB Temperature" - the temperature of the motherboard or motherboard. Exit the BIOS by pressing the Esc key.
