New: check whether your CPU or GPU temperature is normal
Type in your CPU or GPU and the temperature you see, and the new Temperature Checker shows where it ranks among real stress tests of the same model. Result pages now show your ranking too.
“Is 85 °C normal for my graphics card?” is one of the most common questions people bring to ThermalStats. You can now get an answer without running a test: the new Temperature Checker compares any temperature you type with real results for the same model.
How it works
- Type your CPU or GPU. The list suggests every model with at least 6 verified results.
- Choose whether you measured it under load (gaming or a stress test) or idle.
- Enter the temperature in °C or °F.
You see where your reading ranks, for example hotter than 72% of 58 results, along with the typical temperature for that model, the range most owners see, and what to try if yours runs hot. Every answer has its own link, so you can share it.
Where the numbers come from
The checker uses the same verified results as the hardware pages: stress tests run with the ThermalStats app, never self-reported numbers. A load result is the peak temperature during a test of at least one minute, so games usually run a few degrees cooler. For graphics cards we use the hotspot sensor when the card has one, and it reads higher than the core temperature some other tools show.
Your ranking on result pages
Result pages now show the same ranking, such as cooler than 82% of RTX 3060 results, and so does the preview image when you share the link. Each hardware page also has a quick box to check your own temperature for that model.
Want an exact answer?
A temperature you read off Task Manager is a good start, but a controlled test is better. The free ThermalStats app runs one in about two minutes and compares your result automatically. Run the test.
