Motherboard drivers generally come with them... Asus ones do anyway...
I'm sure you could google it somewhere.

if you have an older mobo you can use motherboard monitor 5. or as xato mentioned there are softwares provided by the manufacturer

theyre not accurate. they measure the temp by voltages (all the sensor is is a variable resistor that changes to heat) and the supplied voltages never stay the same in that environment. if you want accurate go with a digital meter like the aerogate 2 I have. 4 channel temp monitor and fan controller

Yeh, you need better monitoring hardware to get a more acurate reading...
