Question Core Temp vs. CPU temp

My computer's CPU temp and core temp is quite different. For example, when my CPU temperature is 32°C my core temp is reaching 40°C. Which temperature should I trust? This difference is rather annoying as my PWM fan speeds up according to my CPU temp, not my core temp.
