Get CPU Temperature With PowerShell

Get-Temperature

# Please note that this is quite old at this point and may or may not work for you. I leave it here for historical purposes
# and just in case it can help someone. I think I may have been using Windows 7 when I wrote this.

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.

I get ´-273.15 C : -459.67 F : 0K´ diddnt looked much into if i can fix it but this thematic is really pain on windows.

My System result
-273.15 C : -459.67 F : K
Looks like something wrong with calculations

To all the people that have some trouble with it returning negatives values:

From what i understood, " Get-WmiObject MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature -Namespace "root/wmi" " can return more than one value, that is why we should get the information in an array.
I changed :
$t = Get-WmiObject MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature -Namespace "root/wmi"
into :
$t = (Get-WmiObject MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature -Namespace "root/wmi")[0]
And it now return the right value (37,05°c for me here).

Sorry for my poor english and maybe a bit late answer, but i hope it will help next ones !

Hi!

I'd like to track CPU hogs over a day and get output in the following format. Unfortunately I have no Power Shell knowledge. Could you throw together something based on the snippets already here? I think this would be really useful for many people.

Pseudo:

while(TRUE)
  for each process that uses more than 5% cpu
    print datetime + cputemp + process.cpu + process.path
  sleep(5)

2020-05-01 12:34:56  34C  15%  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\msword.exe
2020-05-01 12:34:56  34C  11%  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\msexcel.exe
2020-05-01 12:41:10  37C   7%  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\mspoint.exe

Doesn't seem to work on Winblows nowadays (At least 11, possibly 10). That's using PowerShell && pwsh:

Get-WmiObject : Not supported

It depends on the hardware you have, some will not have this object.
