This is my first build and I have re-seated my cpu cooler 3 times now. Core Temp & CPUID both read my core temps at 51 to 55 C idle. The bios reads 41 to 45 C idle. Why the difference and what is my actual temp? Any help for a noob will be appreciated!
There are 6 case fans running...running 1.3 V on auto.
Overclocked it to 3.6 and CPUID temps showed idle 62 to 65 C...got scared and reset bios to stock.
