Real Temp

Real Temp is a program for Windows that lets you know the temperature of your PC. You can use it on laptops and desktops, too, as it's a very lightweight program that hardly takes up any space and can help you extend the life of your hardware.

Check the temperature of your hard drive

Desktop and laptop PCs have a certain temperature limit, above which they will shut down to prevent heat damage. Because of this, maybe your PC shut down on its own before and you didn't know why. With Real Temp, you can keep track of its temperature. It shows you the minimum and maximum temperature that your device can withstand, so you can determine if you need to take action.

A simple program

Real Temp is easy to use, even if you don't know much about computers. It has a small window that displays the aforementioned limits, but keep in mind that this program is for informational purposes only, so Real Temp won't tell you what measures to take in order to prevent your PC from overheating. On the other hand, more advanced users might enjoy the settings options, which allow you to view the temperature of each core separately, for example.
