How to Check Your GPU Temperature in Windows Task Manager

If you are playing a heavy game or rendering a video, your graphics card (GPU) can get very hot. You do not need to download third-party monitoring software to check if it is overheating. Windows has a built-in temperature monitor right in the Task Manager.

Here is how to find it:

1. Open Task Manager: Right-click on the Windows Start button and select Task Manager from the menu. (Alternatively, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc on your keyboard).

2. Go to the Performance Tab: Click on the Performance tab on the left side (it looks like a small heartbeat graph).

3. Select Your GPU: Scroll down the list on the left and click on your GPU (e.g., GPU 0 or GPU 1).

4. Check the Temperature: Look at the bottom of the right pane. You will see the GPU Temperature displayed in Celsius.

Note: A normal GPU temperature under heavy load is usually between 65°C and 85°C. If it consistently goes above 90°C, you might need to clean your PC fans or improve airflow.
