Monitoring your MacBook’s temperature is crucial to maintaining its optimal performance and longevity. Overheating can lead to system instability, performance throttling, and hardware damage. Fortunately, macOS provides several methods to check the temperature of various MacBook components, including the CPU, GPU, and internal sensors.
One of the most convenient ways to check your MacBook’s temperature is through Activity Monitor, a built-in tool that provides real-time information about system resources. To access Activity Monitor, open the Applications folder, then navigate to Utilities and launch Activity Monitor. Once open, select the “Window” menu and enable the “CPU Temperature” and “GPU Temperature” options. This will display the current temperature of these components in the main Activity Monitor window.
