How to check CPU temperature?

Is there any way that I can check the CPU temperature in Vista? I am using a Vista Home Basic on my laptop and it was not too late until I found out that it was getting too hot at a much faster rate than it usually does. This made me to keep an eye on the temperature of my machine so that it doesn’t get overheated of something. Has anyone of you done this before? I was facing some real time difficulties with the whole process when my friend advised me about software that I need to install in my PC to be able to the temperature. Is it true? Can anyone of you suggest me such software?
