Core Temp for a minimal design 

"May your frame rates be high and your temperatures low"

I misread titles/posts way too often--correct me if I don't.

^ as you see there are several. I'll add ones I use/have used.

 

RealTemp. This is what I use to record temps while benchmarking/stress testing.

MSI Afterburner. Mainly to control GPU fans, but also gives nice graphs about many parts.

HWiNFO64. By far the most feature rich system monitor you will see.

OpenHardwareMonitor. This is always open on 2nd screen to quickly diagnose if any issues are some component related and how CPU is handling some of more demanding software.

Speedfan. For fan control, but has temp readings too.

 

Plus stress testing software like OCCT.
