What should I take as correct cpu temperature? CPUTIN (85C) reading or separate core readings (39C)?

I have installed Speed Fan, Real Temp and HW monitor and in all 3 and also in bios the CPU temperature is given as 85C
and core temps are given as 39 C and 40 C.
What should I consider as correct temperature.
And why is the CPU temp 85C. Is it something wrong with the sensors or is there anything I should do about it.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I have a fan attached to the cpu. Do I need to attach a separate fan to the heatsink as well. Or is one ebough.

I will try to attach a photo of the inside of my computer so that u can have a better idea.

Thanks again for replying to my question

I thought the one with the fan was the cpu and the alluminium one is the heatsink.
So when i said my heatsink doesnt have a fan I was reffering to alluminium one next to the processor.

Ok ill try that.

One more thing please. Iv noticed that the frequency in my cpu is changing rapidly. It goes from 2799MHz to around 2200MHz within seconds. Stock speed is mentioned as 2.8GHz.

Is my CPU throttling due to overheating?

Thank you.

I did this and the cpu temp which on 84 did not change it remains constant throughout.
The core temps which maxed to 71C earlier dropped to 69C but that does not seem much.

Since the cpu temperature remained constant for about 4 days could it be that a sensor is broken or something.
