Hi @ALRIGGIO 

Download HWiNFO Portable at this Site to check CPU, graphics card, and other temps (MB , disk, RAM) while running the game. You can also check CPU temp and power throttling.

Run the game in windowed mode so you can check HWiNFO temps as you play the simulator.

I like to see CPU and graphics temps well below 80 Celsius when stressing the components. Graphics card temps above 80 C and CPU temps approaching 90 C and above are not so good.

Get back to the forum with some temperature readings.

Hi @ALRIGGIO 

My pleasure.

Run HWiNFO 64 bit. Load sensors only. This software will show: current, minimum, and maximum temps.

Check the following items:

CPU Core Temps.

CPU throttling, You want to see all "no" indicators.

The next group of CPU temp and power limit indicators should be all "no" responses.

Check each category such as Memory temps, MB temps, Drive temps, and graphics card temps.

Get back to the forum with your findings.

Hi @ALRIGGIO 

Thanks for the images.

Are the current CPU temps and max CPU temps displayed in your images after running MSFS? If so, they are not bad. I don't see any CPU throttling. This is good.

The Intel 12th Gen CPUs run a little hot even at idle.

I need to see the temps after running MSFS.

Please also post graphics card, RAM, and drive temps after running MSFS.
