The most basic thing i can think of is corsairs AiOs which have a base that can be set in a mode where it changes the LED color based on temps. Quite honestly, whichout some serious knowledge this sounds almost impossible to do.

It's not hard to do. I did designs for an LED based speedometer last year that I ended up not building. I can draw them up again if I get some free time.

 

Just need some LED drivers, bread board and LEDs. You can make a "gauge face" by simply printing one out on regular paper. Find or make a gauge bezel to finish it up. You do need a decent soldering kit and good soldering skills to make it however.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

What I have in mind is the pin of the speedometer should move when temp changes just like it does when speed changes.

You would have to have a little motor connected to the rear of the gauge to spin the shaft, and then program something to change the current going to the motor depending on the temperature of the cpu, maybe something like a raspberry pi, or arduino would help.
