iMazing developed the free and open-source app, Hot, to make it quick and easy to monitor CPU temperature on a Mac or MacBook. This works on both Apple Silicon and Intel-based systems. There are other solutions for Intel Macs, covered below, that provide GPU data as well, but for any...
Use compressed air and a cotton swab to clean the dust– The GPU and fans will have numerous tight spots and awkward nooks and crannies. In both cases, you should first use compressed air to dislodge the dust, then complete the process by cleaning the difficult spots with a cotton swab. ...
Your CPU is one of the most sensitive (and expensive) components inside your computer, so this is the first fan you'll want to look at. Most CPUs come preinstalled with basic fans that are engineered to cool your processor just enough to keep it running – but nothing more. ...
How to Cool a GPU. While high-end graphics processing units frequently come with their own heat sinks and fans already installed right on the card, the entry level cards that would be appropriate for accelerating simple tasks on a business computer may n
3. Invest in a New Heatsink/CPU Cooler A CPU cooler keeps your chip cool by pulling heat from the CPU toward the baseplate/heat pipes. The heat transitions from gas to liquid via the condenser and cools down through the heatsink fins and fan. This “cooled down liquid,” or coolant, ...
1. Force the Game to Use GPU One effective method to cool your CPU while gaming is to instruct the game to use the GPU more intensively than usual, or switch to the dedicated GPU on board (if your system has one). By offloading more graphics processing tasks to the GPU, you can redu...
Core TempforCPU temperature monitoring A better cooler for better temperature The stock cooler that comes with your Intel CPU isn’t great, and it won’t do enough to keep your processor cool if you plan to overclock it. Because of this, it’s highly advised you purchase a good aftermarket...
Much like PCs, gaming on a cell phone strains the CPU and GPU to their limits, causing your phone to generate a lot of heat. While the occasional gaming session won’t kill your phone, several hours of continuous gaming will heat up your device. This is especially true when playing newer...
CPU Benchmark CPU benchmarks differ slightly from GPU benchmarks. While GPU benchmarks focus on the ability to run games smoothly, CPU benchmarks often test your PCs ability to multitask. Make no mistake; a better CPU will allow games to run more smoothly on your PC. You can even use...
