How can I access cpu temperature readings using c#?

For a programming project I would like to access the temperature readings from my CPU and GPUs. I will be using C#. From various forums I get the impression that there is specific information and developer resources you need in order to access that information for various boards. I have a MSI NF750-G55 board. MSI's website does not have any of the information I am looking for. I tried their tech support and the rep I spoke with stated they do not have any such information. There must be a way to obtain that info.

Any thoughts?

If the vendor does not have a api or provider, you are most likely out of luck.

HP for example has a very extensive WMI provider for their ProLiant models, and it is fairly trivial to use the System.Management namespace to perform WMI queries to get this information using C#, PowerShell, VBScript, etc.
