I've managed to get some data from onboard ITE chip. Accuracy is a really big concern and I doubt it can be trusted. But I've measured idle/load temperatures by software and additionally using infrared thermometer when I was building the machine and when I see approximately the same values I'm thinking it is okay. Another indirect method for me is to monitor fans. When I can see all of them working fine and environment temperature is known to be within reasonable range then I can expect CPU temperature to be quite predictable. To use this you have to trust your thermal compound as may dry with time loosing its capability to transfer heat effectively.
