How do I check CPU temperature in Windows 8? [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
How can I measure my computer temperature?

On my previous PC I have used some gadgets to measure the temperature.

How can I measure it on Windows 8?

My motherboard manufacturer (ASUS) makes software that does that and runs on Windows 8.
See superuser.com/questions/2119/…. Most of these should still work on Windows 8.

I use Speccy by Piriform. It does more than just CPU temp.

I have always used third party software to monitor temperatures. See if this work in Windows 8 on desktop mode: CoreTemp
