Борислав Стефанов Posted July 20, 2021 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

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
