CPU temp on 7VT600-RZ

Does anyone know where and how the CPU temp is measured by the BIOS on
the 7VT-600RZ and how accurate this reading is likely to be?

I am unhappy because no matter what I try I can't get the CPU reading
below 56/58c at full load. This has bcome a problem now that I am
trying to run a BOINC application.
Cheers!

As an update/aside, I'm now using "threadmaster" to throttle the BOINC
application (seti@home). That'll do for now, as it keeps the temperature
down nearer 50c, at which level I get no crashes. At 56+ it was
sometimes wobbly.
