Where can I see the temperature of the CPU?

I followed the suggestions and discovered that my CPU is running at
99C Is this good? bad? or indifferent?

IMO it's bad. Not too bad, in that it will continue to run at that
temperature (obviously), but that temp will degrade it faster, so rather
sooner than later the CPU will fail. FWIW, the CPU on this box is
running at 55-56C.

Best,

Thanks everyone who tried to help...

Turns out the thermal paste had given up and needed replacing... So I
did that.. Then I broke the pin holding the sink to the motherboard so
That's getting fixed
I use SETI to run the CPU hot.. seems to work well at that

More as I know more

Update on my Update

When I tried to replace the cooler (Intel OEM) I managed to break all
the hold down pins Soo I repasted and sat a weight on the thing until
I could get to the store.. Oddly it brought the temp down about 5 C..
Just to be safe I stopped SETI for the time being.. Avg temp was
around 45-50 this way.. Still a tad warm
I now have a Enermax Liquimax AIO 120s water cooler on board, and a
new chassis fan (with pretty colours too)
SETI running = 45C after about 10 minutes
Without SETI about 26C (it's about 19 in this room ambient)

Of interest to me is that the CPU = 44 but the cores are 50+ Still
not 99 though

I'll let it settle in for a few day.. I'll report any significant
changed

Again, Thank you to all the experienced brains that weighed in on this
for me
