I am processing movies and the CPU is indicating

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?

I have just rebuild and used a Corsair H80i vs All in one water cooling
system.
I changed to a case with better airflow..and replaced a Noctua NH-D15 Air
Cooler.
Running a 30% overclock on an Intel I5-6600k . My "normal " temps went up by
1 degree..
When I run prime 95 or RealBench or IntelBurn which stresses the CPU and in
the case of RealBench the GPU as well
my temps are the same as they were with the Noctua air cooler...Under stress
I reach 55 C..
The H80i has 2 120mm fans running in push/pull config....its by no means the
best water cooler but i bought it to
see how it would do.If I were to repurchase I would by a larger
one...240mm.... The Noctua ran fairly quiet and so does the
H80i until the heat cranks up the fan/pump speed.
Hope this helps in your decision making
