CPU Temperature Monitoring
Monitor your CPU temperature to maintain device performance
Automated CPU temperature monitoring for every device on your network
When the CPU in any of your devices overheats, the whole device can slow down or even shut down. This is why it’s so important to constantly monitor CPU temperature across your network. By monitoring temperature, you can identify high temperatures before a slowdown occurs.
SolarWinds® Engineer’s Toolset™ (ETS) is designed with an auto-discovery feature capable of automatically finding all the devices on your network. This allows you to monitor important metrics related to performance, including CPU temperature, CPU load, memory, and more.
Put CPU temperature into the larger context of CPU health with a complete CPU monitoring solution
CPU temperature monitoring is just one important element of broader CPU monitoring, which is critical for maintaining device performance. With SolarWinds Engineer’s Toolset, you get a complete CPU monitoring solution built to monitor temperature and load. This can help make it easier to see the root cause of temperature increases to quickly determine if they’re correlated with an increased load.
Use intelligent alerting and clear graphs to manage your CPU temperature monitoring
When you use a CPU temperature monitoring tool, you want to be able to trust it to do the heavy lifting of constant monitoring; you want to be sure it’ll tell you when a problem arises. SolarWinds Engineer’s Toolset can automate CPU temperature monitoring and notify you whenever a device’s CPU reaches a preset threshold. You can even generate graphs showing how the current CPU temperature and load compare to the maximums.

Do you find yourself asking…
Any physical device you use, whether it’s a car, a fridge, or a computer, needs to be monitored and managed to stay operational. When it comes to your central processing units (CPUs), one of the most important tasks is temperature monitoring. Without it, you might find your devices slowing down, locking up, or even shutting down.
Unfortunately, there may not be a built-in Mac CPU temperature monitor, Linux CPU temperature monitor, or Windows CPU temperature monitor for some devices. To effectively manage processor temperature, you’ll need to install CPU temperature monitoring software.
Once you’ve installed CPU temperature monitoring software, the process is quite easy, whether you want to monitor the CPU temperature of a Windows 10 system, a Linux system, or any other system. With basic monitoring programs, you may need to enter the application to locate the current CPU temperature. With more advanced CPU temperature monitoring software, tracking can be automated so you can see current temperature in addition to historical temperature trends over time.
When it comes to CPU temperature, there’s no set maximum temperature. Every processor has a different maximum temperature known as the “Tj Max.” If your CPU temperature is anywhere near the Tj Max, this may mean the CPU is overheating, which can lead to a shutdown. Generally, it’s good to try to keep your CPU temperature around 10 to 20 degrees below the maximum temperature.
