How to monitor CPU and GPU temperatures in Windows 10?

[shadybk]

I just built a new gaming PC with Windows 10 and I don't know how to check the CPU, GPU and RAM temperatures.

Can you do it in windows 10 or do I have to download a program for that? Are there programs in the Microsoft app store?

Thanks in advance!!

There are a plethora of amazing hardware monitoring programs available free of charge online.

I personally prefer NZXT's CAM Software, but I may be biased considering my CPU Cooler must be controlled by it. Nonetheless, it is one of the easiest temperature monitoring applications I've ever used.

A few perks of CAM...

1. Not only can you monitor CPU, GPU, and RAM temperatures, you can also monitor usage.
2. CAM comes with a Fraps like FPS counter that can display your current, average, and max FPS count in game.
3. If you happen to purchase an NZXT product in the future, CAM can easily connect to and control said item, such as the GRID or HUE +.

If you're looking for something simpler, I also use Hardware Monitor.

The temperatures are harder to read, but it doesn't use as much RAM as CAM. You can also control your GPU fan in this program.

I dont have NZXT product but I got Asus. Can I install cam? Does it have any compatibility issue when install it? Some people may experiencing NZXT cam will crash because the software and GPU is not telly. Must install original from manufacturer if you want to setting your GPU. Cam only for NZXT product.

You can install NZXT CAM regardless of your GPU brand.

NZXT doesn't even make PC Hardware, like CPU, RAM, motherboard or graphics. They just make case stuff and CPU Coolers.
