Temperature Monitoring Software
Temperature monitoring software is intended to monitor continually the temperature of computer hardware, such as Central Processing Units (CPUs) and video cards. Some computer users "overclock" their hardware, which runs it more quickly for higher performance but accompanied by higher temperatures. If a computer component runs too hot, it may fail.
