MSI Afterburner is primarily designed for monitoring and adjusting the settings of graphics cards, but it also provides basic monitoring capabilities for CPU temperature. To check your CPU temperature using MSI Afterburner, you can follow these steps:
- Download and install the latest version of MSI Afterburner from the official MSI website.
- Launch MSI Afterburner and click on the gear icon to open the settings window.
- In the settings window, navigate to the "Monitoring" tab.
- Under the "Active Hardware Monitoring Graphs" section, you'll find a list of hardware components that can be monitored. Scroll down or use the search function to find your CPU temperature.
- Check the box next to "CPU Temperature" to enable monitoring for your CPU temperature.
- Customize the display properties of the CPU temperature graph, such as color, line thickness, and position, according to your preference.
- Click on "OK" or "Apply" to save the settings and exit the settings window.
- Return to the main MSI Afterburner window, and you should now see the CPU temperature displayed on the monitoring graph or overlay, depending on your configuration.
It's important to note that MSI Afterburner's CPU temperature monitoring may not be as comprehensive or detailed as dedicated CPU monitoring software. If you require more advanced CPU temperature monitoring features, you may want to consider using specialized tools like HWMonitor, Core Temp, or Open Hardware Monitor. These tools often provide more in-depth information and additional features specific to CPU monitoring.
