Sandra or ITE Smart Guardian?

I've got a DFI Ultra-D and a Venice 3200+ that I put together Sunday/Monday; I've been monitoring temps and setting it up and stuff and noticed that Smart Guardian & BIOS have never given me CPU temps over 42(That's after 14 hours no restarts w/ either gaming, Prime95, or both, plus probly another days worth with restarts but no shutdowns). Sandra, on the other hand, doesn't report temps under 42 degrees, and is typically 5-7 degrees higher. Which temp is more likely to be right, and why do they show up differently?
 
Actually, now that you mention it, it does. That's interesting.
For that reason alone I would think Sandra is better, but Smart Guardian reports the same temps as my BIOS, which is why I wonder where Sandra's getting its numbers from. :/
 
Smart guardian is the correct temp on my DFI NF3. Sandra reports the PWM IC temp as CPU temp for me.
