Temperature Monitoring

Monitoring Temperature

As with any electronic device, chips and other components of a computer stop working when they get overheated (several unrecoverable errors, crashes and even hardware damage). Temperatures may rise too high when a device is abnormally overloaded, a fan is not working properly or when the ambient temperature is too hot. Monitoring the temperatures of the critical devices of your system allows you to take preventive action and avoid a crash from overheating.

Depending on the available information, the Temperature and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each detected temperature sensor:

•	The Temperature parameter represents the current temperature reading in Celsius degrees (°C). An alert is triggered if the temperature rises too high.

•	The Status parameter represents the current status of the temperature. An alert is triggered if the temperature gets too high.
