Where can I see the temperature of the CPU?

Speccy tells me that my Intel Core i5 4690 is sitting on 37° C

Seeing as we are talking about temps.

I use an external usb cable allows me to connect either IDE or Sata
drive to it and it shows up as a removable disk same as any other
external. I have more than a few hard disks sit on a shelve I use for
various purposes mostly arching data.

One 1Tb drive gets very warm, I'd actually say hot in fact. I've seen it
over 60 degrees C without doing anything but plugged in. Drive operates
normally without any funny noises or anything like that. SMART data
indicates nothing amiss with the drive. I can leave it plugged in
overnight and nothing seems changed in it's behaviour, e.g. it works as
expected.

Any thoughts?
