Table of contents:
When a laptop is not working well, is running slow or hangs within a few minutes of use, one reason is that it can have temperature problems. Therefore, it is important to monitor what temperature our laptop is working at. Here we show you 5 tools that will help us in the task.
Know the temperature of your laptop: Core Temp
Core Temp is probably one of the simplest and clearest tools to monitor the temperature of the components of your laptop.
It offers detailed information on the different temperature sensors integrated in the motherboard and the DTS (Digital Thermal Sensor) sensors that are present in most of today's processors.

SpeedFan
Speedfan is just as functional as Core Temp but offers more information and a graph to monitor temperatures. This is one of the best options and is equally free, supporting all the new equipment that comes out thanks to regular updates.

GPU-z
GPU-z is focused on monitoring our graphics card, either on a laptop or on a desktop PC.
Among the data that you can obtain with the GPU-Z you will find those that belong to the working temperature recorded by the different sensors that are integrated in the motherboard and even in the GPU itself.

MSI Afterburner
While MSI Afterburner also focuses on graph temperatures, it also provides detailed information on CPU temperature, including displaying the temperatures of each processor core independently.
With MSI Afterburner we will also have the possibility of overclocking the graphics card, although this would already belong to another category.

HW Monitor
The last and no less recommended option is HW Monitor. It looks austere but the information it offers is a lot, as you can see in the screenshot, it even shows the temperatures of the hard drives.
HW Monitor is probably the most complete option to monitor the temperature of your laptop and it is 100% free.
