    Here's an ongoing ''wrong temperature'' thread for Speccy you might like to post in.

    Hi @stapp ,

    HP Support Assistant wasn't finding a new driver for the graphics card but I found one on the HP site for my PC. I've installed that and Speccy isn't showing any temperature now. Either the sensor died or the graphics card doesn't have one. Wouldn't most modern graphics cards have temperature sensors?

    It appears Speccy has a problem with this GPU. I've just downloaded GPU-Z and it tells me the GPU is currently at 40°C, which is about the same temperature as the rest of the sensors shown in Speccy, give or take.

    Problem solved!

    Yep, and I'm so glad I did. The difference is like night and day, plus with a clean install of Win10 I don't have the pre-installed HP bloat.

    @stapp ,

    Funny thing that since the fresh install on my SSD Speccy is now showing the correct temperature for the GPU.
