The best way is to take the heatsink/fan off your cpu and put your hand on it.

Now in order to get the best temp est you must keep your hand on it longer than 3 seconds.

Oh btw, shoulda went with an amd. :E

download mbm5- motherboard monitor that should tell you your cpu and case temp, if your computer supports hardware monitoring

You can look in your BIOS.

Unfortunately, a few people get confused by it. Not to mention, I've seen it innacurate by up to 12 degrees.

BIOS is best.
