Measurements are done using MSIAfterburner:

CPU - Intel Core i3 (Factory cooler)(Idle) = 48°
GPU - Gigabyte Windforce NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti (Idle) = 38°


Gaming (Fallout 4):

CPU = Mid 60s
GPU = Mid 50s

I normally just ask my pc if it's getting too hot. Oi, pc, you getting too hot over there mate?

*whine*

Well I'm not particularly cold either!

Usually this is as easy as jumping into Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and monitoring system usage

Ctrl + Shift + Esc
