Temp Monitoring

What is the best way to get accurate temperature readings of the CPU? Which program, device, etc?

The reason I am asking is because my temps using Corecell (MSI Neo2 thing), MBM5, and Everest and they all report different temperatures. Not sure which one to trust. Furthermore, I just downloaded the latest chipset drivers for my mobo and my load temps (according to these programs) went from 51-52oC to 59-60oC. wtf? Any insight is much appreciated.
 
As posted, we need to know what you have for hardware and such. I get the same temp readings from all monitoring software, depending on their refresh rates. If they refresh at the same time/frequency, then the temps are within 1C of each other. Often changing to match the other software within a few seconds (could be a fraction of a second off, giving the different readings).

Check for bios updates for your mobo. Often, a bios update will correct improper readings from the on board temp sensors...

There's a bug with the early version of CoreCenter where it's reported temps are 4 degrees Celsius higher than they really are. Upgrading to the latest version will fix that.

Here's where you can download it: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_list.php?kind=1
Scroll down that page until you see the link for Core Center. It's version 1.7.3.0.

 
I've used Speedfan, MBM5, Everest, and Core Center to monitor temps/voltages. They all give the same readings. My favorite is Everest because that reports other motherboard settings such as HTT, RAM timings, CPU speed. To get current temps/voltages with Everest you have to click on Computer and then click on Sensor. That will give real time temperature measurements.
