MSI 990fx zambezi 8 core

[jackal28]

I have tried cpuid-z, coretemp, and amd overdrive. All of these programs say that each core temp ( 8 cores) runs around 15-17 degrees celciu per core. Which doesnt really make since given that room temp is about 5-10 degrees higher. When I bootup in bios it normally shows anywhere from 50-60 degrees CPU temp. Is this normal or do I have a faulty motherboard/ processor.

The BIOS is giving the right temp, the software is misinterpreting the readings.

You may need to load the "control center" or "msi suite" if you want to get fan speed and temp info:
