monitoring temperatures

[Dome]

do i need to buy anything specific if i want to measure my temperatures of my cpu when i get a new computer in a week?

i'll be doing some overclocking of the cpu and will be wanting to keep an eye on temperatures. if my computer can tell me reliably then thats fine, i don't need anything fancy

i havent come across a motherboard that doesnt come included with a program that will tell you temperatures. Or at least a free hardware monitor on the motherboards website

I have the mobo sensors(USDM) and a Compu-Nurse sensor and a Digi-Doc sensor next to the CPU die...I like to have the bases covered
