Do I need to install a special type of hardware to view my CPU's temp? Its not like I'm overclocking or anything, but I would like to see what it is. Do motherboards have this standard now?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I suggest using Motherboard Monitor - you can get it at http://mbm.livewiredev.com/
You can view it in the BIOS of almost any motherboard built in the last few years. Usually under Hardware Monitor. There are many utilities that will monitor this temp for you in Windows. I have an ASUS board and use PC Probe for example..
You can also get a hardware device that will monitor it for you such as the Hardcano

You'll have to put a probe under your CPU, but it's not much trouble for the convenience of always having your temps on hand.

What motherboard do you have? It would help.
Thanks
