How to get CPU temperature on Windows system using both Snmp and cmd

Question

I am currently working on NMS Zabbix. After some R&D, I am able to get the CPU temperature info on Linux via snmp as well as terminal using LM-SENSORS. However, the same doesn't work for Windows; I see windows doesn't have LM-SENSORS, and maybe that's why LM-SENSOR-MIB is not giving any output for Windows. Can any one suggest which mibs can be used in Windows to get CPU temperature info, and also, how can I get same information in a cmd terminal?

Answer 1

How can I get the CPU temperature in a cmd shell?

Try the following.

Batch file (GetCpuTmp.cmd)

@echo off
for /f "skip=1 tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ('wmic /namespace:\\root\wmi PATH MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature get CurrentTemperature /value') do set /a "HunDegCel=(%%~A*10)-27315"
echo %HunDegCel:~0,-2%.%HunDegCel:~-2% Degrees Celsius

Source Batch-file get CPU temperature in °C and set as variable, answer by David Ruhmann

Example output:

> GetCpuTemp.cmd
73.05 Degrees Celsius

---

PowerShell function (get-temperature.psm1)

function Get-Temperature {
    $t = Get-WmiObject MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature -Namespace "root/wmi"

    $currentTempKelvin = $t.CurrentTemperature / 10
    $currentTempCelsius = $currentTempKelvin - 273.15

    $currentTempFahrenheit = (9/5) * $currentTempCelsius + 32

    return $currentTempCelsius.ToString() + " C : " + $currentTempFahrenheit.ToString() + " F : " + $currentTempKelvin + "K"  
}

# Save in your c:\users\yourName\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\modules\ directory
# in sub directory get-temperature as get-temperature.psm1
# You **must** run as Administrator.
# It will only work if your system & BIOS support it. If it doesn't work, I can't help you.

# Just type get-temperature in PowerShell and it will spit back the temp in Celsius, Farenheit and Kelvin.

Example output:

> get-temperature
73.05 C : 163.49 F : 346.2K

You can use Open Hardware Monitor it's an open source software (MPL v2). You can access the command line version here:

OpenHardwareMonitorReport.zip

Example part of the output:

PS C:\Users\myuser\OpenHardwareMonitorReport> .\OpenHardwareMonitorReport.exe
