    Speedfan is reported to be wrong a lot, and BIOS is always right.

    BIOS is not an idle temperature

    Speedfan you need to concern yourself with Core temps, not CPU temps. The CPU sensor is a sensor on the board itself and is known to be very different then the actual cpu temperature.

    If you want a good CPU temp monitor use RealTemp. I use it whenever I am doing overclocking, benchmarks, and stress tests.

    I use hwmonitor from there and it gives accurate cpu temp readings.. does gpu temps and other stuff too.
