Hi all, My set up;

Core2 Duo E6400 @ 2.6 G/Hz with Artic Freezer 7 Pro.
Gainward Bliss 8800GT Golden Sample (512mb)
Asrock G31 DE M/bo
Samsung Spinpoint 320 GB H/D
500w Generic PSU.

Ok,
my BIOS is telling me that my cpu temp is 36°C @ idle
my overclocking tool senor that came with the Motherboard, has the same readings
Hardware sensors monitor also has the same readings
Yet sensorsview pro has my cpu temp at,,,,,,56°C. WTF!!!:eek:

Which one do i go off guys, your help is much appreciated.

P.S. Also when i stress test the cpu, its only going up to 41°C @ atfull load. Shouldn't it go higher than that?
