Should I trust these temps?

4400+ X2 idles at ~43 and hits ~61 under load, according to Speedfan and Everest. Swapped the old style, 2 pipe OEM heatsink for the new AMD 4 pipe design. Applied AS5 correctly. No change. Slapped on this larger fan. No change.

I'm wondering how reliable my temp sensor is. The ambient reading given by Speedfan is typically 29-30 or higher, but I put a remote temp probe in the case (near the passively cooled NB chipset) and I get ~25, which is about 3 degrees over my room temp. Airflow through my P180 case is good, and the exhaust air is only slightly warm under dual instances of Prime95. Under load, the pipes on the heatsink are warm but not hot.

Any thoughts?
 
Sounds likely that it's a bad sensor, 61 under load is huge. Although often with a broken sensor it tends to stay at a constant temperature. My 4400 sure isn't that hot! With cae temp of around 25, I see about 30-32 idle, 43-45 load.

Those're my thoughts.
 
with stock i would image running stock you idle 30-low 40'ish and load at low 50's or high 40's pending on your situation.. but maybe u have bad airflow and could be running too hot.
i beleive my sensors are off a little too.they are all somewhat inacurate some are just farther off than others.
