Just built a system. Temp problem. BIOS and coretemp shows diffrent

[jajaja]

Hi. Yesterday I finished building my first system. It power up fine. I checked the temp in BIOS it shows around 50, then I checked it with "coretemp" it shows "Tjunction @85 C,core 0 @ 62 C,core 1 @ 62. I posted this problem yesterday at other forum. I just kept the system on (browsing, gaming) untill 8 AM, then I turned it off.

I remember that when I first took off the heatsink, the thermal paste wasn't spread evenly and was very thin. so I decided to buy artic silver 5. I followed all the instruction carefully here http://www.arcticsilver.com/pd...s5_intel_dual_wcap.pdf . I turned on the system, went to bios, about 2 minutes later , bios shows the temp around 50. Then I looked at coretemp it shows even worse then yesterday "Tjunction @85 C, core 0@ 64 C, core 1 @ 63 C.

The system was off for more than 13 hours. it should at least be cool for a while right ? why is the temps so high ? is there anything wrong ? is "coretemp" accurate ? or BIOS is more reliable ?

I'm a bit surprised to know that the system is not blowing or shutting down (hopefully never) that makes me wonder if that software coretemp is correct or not.


I took some picts of my mobo. Please take a look. tell me if there is anything wrong
It's gigabyte GA-965P-s3

I would trust the BIOS first. I don't use Coretemp, but all of those programs have to know the hardware specifics of the ports where the temperature data can be read. Speedfan does a decent job of detecting the presence of the chips that support the sensor capability, but still needs to be told which sensor ports represent which components.

alright thanks for your opinion.

anyway
It turns out that the mobo and the cpu I bought from the guy came overclocked. Someone took a look at the "MB inteligent tweaker" above and told me that. the cpu is overclocked at 3.33 GHz. I didn't know that because he never told me so.
I'm woried about it getting burnt lol. I want to lower the G for abit so that the temperature also lower bit to a safe zone (just a little bit, not back to 2.4 GHz), until I get a zalman 9500 then I'll go along with that setting. if there is anyone here has experience with E6600, please let me know to what number I should lower the cpu voltage
