So Realtemp tells me my CPU temp is 43 c, but PC health status in BIOS tells me 33 c. Do they measure different sensors on the processor? Thanks.
Which to trust?

Eh some are off some are not. I find CoreTemp to be the most accurate for Intel Chips..
The best way to know is look at your temps in the BIOS then compare it to your temp program. If at idle its close to your bios idle then your pretty accurate thus a good program to trust. This is how I was told to do it and it works

Cool, thanks. I'm not worried, thinking about getting an Antec 900 case, hear nothing but good things.

They all read the same sensors, last i checked though coretemp did not have the correct TJmax, and realtemp did.Eh some are off some are not. I find CoreTemp to be the most accurate for Intel Chips..

The bios also is a no load situation, and realtemp should be the most accurate for you.

That makes sense, didn't even think of that. Thanks.

Thats what I mean...coretemp = accurate to my BIOS at idle...aka nothing happening on windows.
If I "correct" the TJ I have a 20c chip and I refuse to believe I was that lucky
