Where can I see the temperature of the CPU?

My AMD A10 APU came with a monitor program, and one of the options is
reading the sensors, voltages, and fan speeds.

Just a word of warning: with any of these programs, if the temp displayed
looks totally outragious in either direction, it is probably bogus. Not
all
motherboards and/or cpus implement temperature sensors in the standard
way.
If you didn't get a monitor program with your CPU (check the vendor
support
page, it may be there) try several of the listed programs in the following
posts and take the consensus. Once you find one that seems to be accurate,
stick with it.

Thank you everyone. I'm trying "Core Temp 1.13"
for a while.

Of all the ones listed, I like Core Temp the best. I don't know if it's the
MB or CPU sensors, but my Athlon X4 845 (and a previous AMD CPU) has always
shown it idling at 0°C. Now, I know that can't be right :-( Core Temp allows
an offset to be put in to adjust for temp correction. A number of articles
say this CPU idles at ~26°C, so I put that in as an offset and everything
appears to be normal, or at least closer to what I'd expect.

I have overheat protection set in UEFI and in Core Temp, and have yet to
have it shut down, so I have to assume the offset is at least close to
correct :-)

I have all the items required for water cooling,
but it's not set up yet. Should I bother if I'm
not a gamer?
