I use the stock cooler, I have a really good case and 3 120mm fans sucking out air.

I applied a good layer of Arctic silver, and I'm still getting 75C in my BIOS settings!!??

Whats wierd is in AMD overdrive , while running TERA in 1920x1080 im getting 22-25C on each core...wtf??

Is this a faulty sensor?
 
Solution
When going into the BIOS there is nothing slowing down the clockspeed, in other words your APU will be running at full speed when you are in the BIOS. AMD's Cool 'n Quiet features to slowdown the APU does not kick in until Windows is loaded.

Be aware that if you're looking at the "Thermal Margin" on the AMD Overdrive, this refers to the amount of degrees away from the maximum temperature the CPU is currently at, so if it is low, it means it is not far away from reaching its max temp.
