I have an i5 2500k and a hyper 212 evo cooler and when I run speedfan I have 3 temps, core 1 2 and 3 which are all around 33c at idle.

I have this program that installed on mistake, I don't use it but it's called "EasyTune 6" which has a HW monitor and on there it says my CPU temp is 21-22c which matches up with the temp on speedfan named "Temp3"

Does that mean my cpu is at 22c or 33c? Im not sure which temp matters, or if all of them do. And what could cause such a big difference in temps?

Edit: Im running at stock temps (3.3Ghz) I can stable OC to 4.5Ghz without the core temps passing 65c (never watched temp3) using prime95
