There are various software tools that report what the temperature
sensors on MBs and so forth tell them...

MotherBoard Monitor, Everest, et al...

But, what they don't tell you is that the sensors are generally
inaccurate, an error of +/- 5C is quite common, and worse, they _drift_.

The ones in Hard Disks are more accurate and stabler, but if you want to
know the temperature inside a CPU case, get a thermometer and stick it
in there!
