BIOS or HWMonitor temps. What are real?

[Vajsmilan]

I unlocked my Athlon X3 460 to Phenom II B60 but temps from 15C on idle with three cores, jumped to 44C idle at 4 cores on HWmonitor or any desktop temp monitoring program and i thought it is very strange because i have Cooler Master 212+ cooler!!! But in BIOS it says 28C!!! What temps are real...? :/

I would believe BIOS! Try removing and reinstalling hardware monitor!

I heard that often when you unlock 4th core temp programs start to show untrue temps of system...? Is this true? Could this be my case...?

P.S. Tried right now, didn't work. Core temps also shows 44C at idle...

15°C was unbeliveable, under ambient for most people! I have a X3 450 which idles at 40° with CM TX3 but on load never gets past 50°C which is the important temp!

I can even touch the side of my CPU cuz my pc case is open and it's really cold... I wouldn't say it has 50C...:/ But i don't know...
