Thanks Ben...
One of my favorite thermocouples for CPU testing is Omega #5TC-TT-K-30-36-SMP-M. They are available in J,K,T and E types, are 0.010" in diameter, and have 36" long 30 AWG Teflon coated leads (36 AWG leads are also available). I usually use the type-K but type-T are also available if you prefer. The -SMP-M designates a pre-wired miniature connector on the end. They cost $44 for a pack of 5 plus $25 to have the connectors mounted.
FWIW I use a jewelers saw to cut a narrow slot into the top of the CPU socket (edit) and Arctic Alumina epoxy (electrically non-conductive) to attach thermocouples to the CPU backside and/or core.
