FAQ! How does a computer detect temperature, for example, Its core?
All modern computers have lots of sensors. One of those are the core temperature sensor.
This is normally a Thermocouple that gets read by the motherboard and then this information can be accessed via BIOS or by a third party software.
What is a Thermocouple?
A Thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature. Thermocouples consist of two wire legs made from different metals. The wires legs are welded together at one end, creating a junction. This junction is where the temperature is measured. When the junction experiences a change in temperature, a voltage is created.
