CPUID HWMonitor incorrect readings?

[Gtr780ti]

So I looked in my bios and my CPU was idling at 55-60C which concerned me. I downloaded CPUID HWMonitor. Looking at the temps on there my CPU seems to be idling at 35-40C. Is CPUID wrong? Which is likely to be the correct reading?

PS: I'm looking at getting a better heat sink soon, will most likely get a H80i because of the performance and it will fit nicely with my high profile ram. If you have any recommendations about heat sinks I should get (air or water) that would work nicely with high profile ram, let me know.

Try coretemp and see if it's reads closer to your mobo or HWMonitor. That should give you a better indication of which program is wrong.
