Bios Temps vs Vista temps

I just upgraded from a e4300 oc'd to 3.2ghz to a e6600 oc'd to 3.6ghz.

With my old e4300 the bios temps matched the idle temps in windows vista 64 perfectly. Now with the new e6600 there is about a 20 degree difference in idle temps. (bios reading 22 celcius, while both speedfan and everest are reading low 40's for idle)

Will most likely try a reseat and reapply of the ac5, but why the descrepancy? Which one is more accurate? Room temperature is about 16 celcius.

Ohh ya, I'm using a gigabyte p35c-dsr3 motherboard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as to why these types seem so different and hense very inaccurate.

When you measured your temp in the bios was the system cold (i.e. had it been off for 30 minutes or more?) If it had been let windows idle for 30 minutes see what temp speedfan reports and then restart and go directly into the bios and see what the bios says.
 
Yes, the bios is always lower, much lower. Also, when using the Gigabyte eztune utility with hardware monitoring, the temps are much lower than either speedfan or everest.

Speedfan and Everest are showing load temps exactly the same at 55 celcius while the gigabye tool is showing load temps at just around 40 celcius.

Why the discrepancy? I'm thinking the 55 celcius is more accurate. Is there a reason for this?
