If you want to test temps the only way to do it correctly is to set up a die simulator as bill has. If you look at ebay and get things reasonably you can get away with maybe 1000 - 1500$. Thats maybe.
Now if you want to test cpu temps on your running system really there is no good way. No matter witch way you go there will be error margins to high to be usable. That is if you need this for anything remotely usable. If that is the case build your self the die simulator.
If you really dont care about any of the above and you just want to have a temp to look at just use the one built into the cpu or mobo it's just as good as anything else for that purpose.
Really trust me on this I was working on a water block shoot out and I researched this very well. In the end at least for me the expense was not worth it and the error margin is to high on a normal system to give results worth anything.
