An increased GPU temperature is detrimental to the overall efficiency of your system. This can result in slower performance and eventually the shutting down of your system. Usually, temperatures shouldn’t rise like this, but if, for some reason, your system is heating up, you should monitor them. Users can use a ton of third-party apps to manage their hardware. However, I will show you how to use Windows 11 to monitor your GPU temperature for this tutorial.

Your system experiences thermal throttling, and this reduces its performance drastically. There are different ways to fix this issue if this is happening, and we talk about it some other time. For now, follow the steps below to monitor the GPU temperature:
