Make sure you check that, as shown below. At 100 degrees, your computer will shut down to protect the CPU from long-term damage.Īfter you have chosen which hardware to monitor, scroll further down until you see the “Show in On-Screen Display” option. Note: as a rough guide, it is acceptable for an Intel CPU to reach up to 80 degrees, but if it is going above 70 then you probably want to consider a better cooling system. I’d click on both “usage” and “temperature” for the CPU and GPU. We’re really only interested in these three parts: Individually select the statistics you want to show in OSD. Here you should see & click “Monitoring” and then move to “Active hardware monitoring graphs” (labelled section a below). Have a look at the image below and check the tab that we’ve labelled 3, at the top.
Once you have downloaded and installed MSI Afterburner, double-click your desktop icon to launch it and then click “Settings” Note: MSI Afterburner does also allow you to overclock your graphics card, but it is not recommended. To get this OSD, we need to install a free utility called MSI Afterburner. Do you see the stats in the top left-hand corner? That’s called your On-Screen Display (or OSD for short). The aim here will be to monitor your processor (CPU), memory (RAM) and graphics (GPU) to see which are reporting the highest work rate. Let’s start by finding out which part of your computer is really holding you back. There will be a few exceptions, and there may still be useful information in this article for those people too, but I’ll be aiming most advice at the gamers out there. This is a question we get asked a lot, and it’s normally because you’re wanting to get better performance in games.
