Some guy from Tom's Hardware told me to install HWMonitors, so I did.
When I use Google Chrome, HWMonitors, CMD and Notepad ++ I get about 25/30 degrees
But when I start *for example* minecraft my degrees are ;eveling up from 30 to 45/50 sometimes 60 degrees! Is that bad?
I don't know if you need my specs. Ask me if you need so
Thankyou

Less than 80c on an intel CPU is considered an ideal temperature, thermal throttling starts at 100-105c I believe.
Programs can see your components temperatures as they have temperature sensors in them, which gives the information to the program for you to see.

Specs:
4gb RAM, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460, CPU 3.20Ghz 3.20 GHz, 1000gb SSHD, Intel HD graphics 4600 ...
I'm not rich...

And just for sure, but how does HWMonitors know how heat my pc is?
