BIOS temp readings vs. other software

I have a P4 560 paired with a scythe ninja in a p180, and my bios reports 60 deg C idle while Intels Desktop Control Center reports an idle of 45. Which do I believe?

Damn, those are high temps! I would tend to believe the BIOS over the software.

since when you bench, or just play some games you are limited to software temp readers so i wouldnt make much trouble out of it, get a good software to monitor the temps and you'll be fine
