CPU Temps

[Lightsim]

I just built my first system and got it up and running today. I'm a little confused about the CPU (E6400) temps.

In the BIOS it reads:
System - 33C
CPU - 43-45C

In speedfan:
System - 33C
CPU - 34C

I played UT2004 for a while and recorded CPU temps. It reached 48C which seems to make sense to me...but what about the BIOS??? Why so high??? It has me worried.

By the way, I have a Thermaltake Armor case with plenty of fans. I am using stock fan and have not overclocked.

The Bios temperatures are the more accurate ones.
Your temperatures are with the normal range.
Nothing to worry about.

My BIOS readings are always around 10-12C higher than my Speedfan. If the BIOS is right, then my CPU is smokin'!

Ok thanks, 45C idle in BIOS had me worried.
