Seriously. If its a desktop machine and you can touch the heatsink
without fear of touching components on the board then just put your
finger on the heatsink fairly low down close to the CPU. If its really
28degC you shouldn't hardly feel any heat at all. If its 60 it will feel
quite hot. Just watch out for the fan, they can take great chunks out of
your fingers if hit at the right place.
