How do you monitor the temperature of your processor?

[Wowbowty]

I would like to know what method people use to monitor the
temperatures of their processor.

HWMonitor is what i use:

For third-party programs, there is Speedfan, HWMonitor, and Coretemp. There is also AMD Overdrive, but that is kind of a different beast.

To put your CPU under load, and conveniently monitor temperatures, many people use Prime95.

Figuring out how to differentiate some of the different temperature sensors may take a bit of tinkering, and finesse. Good luck!
