Depends on your OS... I use Speedfan on my Windows laptop to monitor the CPU temp because my internal cooling fan failed. On my desktop, I'm running Ubuntu (Linux), so I use something called sensors-applet, which just shows my temps in a notification area on my lower taskbar...I like it because it allows me to set maximum/minimum temps for any component that has a thermal sensor, as well as showing fan speeds and voltages connected to the motherboard. But, this is on a Linux machine, so your possibilities may vary.
