Getting Diff Temp Readings on Diff Programs

I used to think Core Temp was a fairly accurate tool to measure my processor temps, but now I'm not so sure. Please see the below image showing PC Wizard and Core Temp measuring my CPU temps. Any idea why I'm getting such a difference in temps? Thank you.

Well PC Wizard is off on your P/S ratings, it has your 5V at 0.93 and your 12V at 3.49. If your 12V was that low it would not even boot. But PC Wizard looks more like what your CPU temp should look like. Core Temp has them at 20C each seems low and at 85C seems really hot compared to the 20C but the Tj could be the max operating temp.

I have the same processor and get almost identical readings.

I also used SpeedFan (4.34, the beta updated to work with Core 2), CPUID HWMonitor, and a few others. All programs used (and my BIOS processor reading) match what Core Temp says, so I trust Core Temp.

PCWizard reads my PSU voltages wrong as well.
