You’ll want to learn how to check CPU temperature in Windows 11 if you’re keen on maintaining your computer well and optimizing its performance. Even the best computers can suffer performance issues if the CPU overheats. This is thanks to thermal throttling, where CPU performance is restricted to allow it to stay within safe operating temperatures.
Windows 11 doesn’t have a built-in application to check the CPU temperature. Although you can check the temperature by booting into the BIOS (or UEFI), this method isn’t effective because it only displays the CPU temperature before Windows has loaded. Naturally, you won’t be able to assess whether or how much an app is heating up your CPU.
