Борислав Стефанов Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hey all. When using the program I got to think how the tool actually monitors the temperatures of the system. Researching a bit I found out that you could check your CPU temperature (as an example) using Windows' WMI. However a lot of people have mentioned that this is not an accurate method of doing so. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think? AIDA64 only uses WMI as a temperature measurement interface on certain mobile computers. But, it only goes WMI (which is a slow interface) when the CPU thermal reading cannot be measured using a direct method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But certainly more direct than WMI which is a high-level, hardware agnostic interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
