From a hot PC to a useful next step.
When the fans get loud, a temperature reading is only the beginning. ThermoSuspect brings CPU and GPU readings together with running-app activity so you can decide what to investigate next. Start with a plain-language assessment, inspect the evidence behind likely contributors, or revisit a sustained heat episode with Heat Autopsy. If you choose to stop an eligible process, review it first and watch a 90-second before-and-after spot-check. Save your work before stopping anything: unsaved changes can be lost. Thermal associations and spot-checks support an investigation; they do not prove that an app caused the heat.
Hardware support varies. Missing readings and weak evidence stay visible instead of becoming a confident diagnosis. This is an investigation tool, not a fan controller or an automatic cooling fix.
- Understand what the readings suggest before digging through charts
- Go from a likely contributor to a reviewed action and a measured result
- Opt into quiet alerts with snooze and cooldown controls
- Resize Processes, Insights and charts; keep your layout between visits
- Keep telemetry and history local; choose what to export or share
Ways people use it
- Investigate which apps were active during a hot or noisy session
- Revisit a heat episode after the temperature has settled
- Check whether stopping a reviewed process helped the PC cool
- Get an opt-in, silent heads-up about sustained heat
- Share a privacy-aware incident report when asking for help
- Give Processes or Insights more room without rebuilding your layout

Feature details and benefits
Find likely contributors
Inspect associations over the last minute, 30 minutes or two hours. Weak associations remain weak rather than becoming a confident culprit label.
- Focus investigation
- Avoid false certainty
Heat Autopsy
Compare process activity with the preceding baseline. Sparse or conflicting evidence can produce no verdict, so missing information is not mistaken for an answer.
- Post-spike investigation
- Clear limits on what the evidence can tell you
Share an incident report
Redacts executable names by default; omits PIDs, paths, usernames, machine IDs, and raw telemetry.
- Shareable evidence
- Reduced oversharing
Check whether a change helped
The action checks the selected process identity and protection rules before stopping it. Save your work first: stopping an app can lose unsaved changes. Automatically stopping a reopened instance is a separate opt-in choice. The observed result is supporting evidence, not proof of cause.
- Review before acting
- See what happened after the change
Look back without guessing
Move through the timeline to inspect readings and available process evidence, with throttle markers and activity associations. Detailed incident process evidence covers the recent two-hour window.
- Longer context
- Exportable data
Compact pinned HUD
The compact window is created when pinned and destroyed when dismissed.
- Glanceable temps
- A compact alternative to the full dashboard
A workspace that fits
Drag the separators or adjust them with the keyboard. Sizes are remembered, smaller windows adapt, and Reset layout restores the current window's defaults.
- More room for the information you need
- Remembered sizes with an easy reset
Quiet attention when needed
Personal baselines add machine-specific context. You choose whether closing the window keeps monitoring in the notification area or quits. Notification delivery also depends on your Windows notification settings.
- Less need to keep checking the dashboard
- Control when the app asks for your attention

Recorded update · 2026-10-10 · 0.1.5
A workspace you can resize, with quiet monitoring
The 0.1.5 preview adds remembered panel sizes and targeted memory fixes. It includes the opt-in quiet monitoring introduced in 0.1.4. The local upgrade and installer lifecycle checks passed; extended memory and clean-PC workflow validation remain open.
- Drag or keyboard-adjust chart and panel sizes, with Reset layout
- Includes silent sustained-heat notifications with snooze and cooldown
- Removed unused sensor-history retention and cleaned up failed event registrations
- Unsigned Windows x64 preview; public distribution has not opened
