Which one is right?

Ok I'm a little confused here. On the far left is PC Probe II which came with my ASUS motherboard and I have always trusted it for accurate temps. In the middle is speedfan which I have never liked always seem to match the temps of PC Prove. On the right is hardware monitor which is the one that has me confused. As you can see on hardware monitor it says my CPU cores 64F each which is awesome but that can't be right can it but speed fan says the same thing for core. Hardware monitor does have the temps right for everything else including my GPU, HDD's, Motherboard, etc. What I want to know is do I go by the Core temps that hardware monitor gives me or by the TMPIN temps it gives me. Which matches with the temps of both PC Probe and Speed fan. So which one do I look at the core temps or the TMPIN temps.
 
TMPIN0 is your motherboards CPU temp reading from a sensor on the board and TMPIN1 is your Northbridge temp. Core 1/2/3 temps are from the CPU internal temp sensor.

Yes I know that but which one do I pay attention to the motherboard CPU sensor or the internal CPU sensor. I'm just trying to record my temps as I have a new CPU cooler coming and I want to compare my new temps with my current temps. First I need to know which temps should I be looking at.
 
Both, one is just the internal core temp, which is off unless you have your computer in a freezer, the other is the total temp dissipation bleed off the motherboard sensor is picking up, which at 38c seems about right at idle.

That's what I thought I was just making sure. I have always watched the motherboard sensor. I do have my CPU under clocked to 1.3GHz right now so that might be the reason for low internal temps.
