01.How to know if your PC is overloaded?

Overheating is the number 1 cause of performance loss in games (Power Throttling). If your CPU reaches 95°C, Windows reduces the clock to prevent chip melting. This causes irremediable stutters in FPS.

Monitoring your components' health (SSD S.M.A.R.T, PSU voltage, usage cycles) is essential to ensure long-term investment.

02.Classic Tools (HWMonitor, CrystalDiskInfo)

You can install several isolated tools to monitor your hardware. CrystalDiskInfo is the standard for testing your SSD or HDD health. HWMonitor is the simplest for seeing voltage and temperature peaks.

03.Voltris Dashboard: Integrated Diagnosis

At **Voltris Optimizer**, we unified diagnostic tools into a single modern Dashboard that doesn't cause visual or performance impact.

  • **Real-time Monitoring:** See CPU/GPU usage and temperature without needing to switch windows.
  • **Hardware Scan:** Checks your disk S.M.A.R.T health for bad sectors that cause slowness.
  • **Error Logs:** Analyzes Event Viewer logs to find driver errors before they cause a Blue Screen (BSOD).

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered by Voltris technical team

Q1.What is normal GPU temperature under full load?

For modern GPUs, anything between 65°C to 80°C is perfectly normal. If it consistently exceeds 85°C, it's time to clean the PC or reapply thermal paste.

Q2.Can Voltris fix defective parts?

No. No software can fix physically broken hardware. Voltris helps you identify the problem and optimizes the software to decrease stress on the defective part until you can replace it.
