Does that sound about right to you guys with my stock heatsink? (I was looking at the temp using BIOS)

See in my MSI Dual-Core Center, It says that my CPU temp is at 25 degrees celcius when my BIOS says it is at 36-37. Which one should I believe because I want to know what my temps are during a game or something and I can't play games while in BIOS lol :p

Bios will be most accurate, from what i have seen PC Wizard is the best monitoring tool. Speedfan is "ok" but Pc Wizard i think is best.

TAT and Core Temp are accurate but will both read as higher (especially under load) than the BIOS temperature because they read from different points. PC Wizard should show the same as the BIOS, I don't think it's programmed to read the internal diodes that TAT/Core read.
