CPU-Z, you can go to the About tab, and there is an option to Save as Text.
Open the file, which is MachineName.txt , and have a look.
For well known methods (CoreTemp on Intel, Infinite Fabric on AMD),
those methods can be used to report the current temperature when the report
was saved.
This is not a "convenient method", but it is a method, and it
is useful when no other method has a driver for the Hardware Monitor
or whatever.
