CPU Reporting tools - Accuracy?

So I've got my Q6600 G0 up and running and at the moment it's stable at 2801mhz. I've set the BIOS at 1.25v but here's my catch. I've been running two instances of Orthos, one attached to CPU0 and CPU1. The other attached to CPU2 and CPU3. This has now been running for 9 hours this way.

According to CPU-Z I am at 2801mhz and 1.200v.
According to Speedfan I am at 53C CPU, CPU 0-34C, CPU 1-33C, CPU 2-32C, CPU 3-32C
SpeedFan also reports that the CPU is running at 1.200v
According to Core Temp I am at 100C Tjunction, Core 0-49C, Core 1-48C, Core 2-47C, Core 3-47C.
Also according to Core Temp I am at 1.215v

The question is, which one is accurate? I am inclined to believe that Speed Fan is most accurate, especially given that Core Temp not yet at a full version thus the kinks haven't been worked out completely. I am also hesitant to believe that this CPU has been working above it's safe rated temps for 9 hours without rebooting or something to that effect.
 
SpeedFan temps are known to be 15ºC lower than they should be.

CoreTemp is correct. Take our word for it. Still, nice temperatures.

Man it sucks but this statement is true to the best of my knowledge. What I mean is that when people ask if there is evidence they are very rarely satisfied when hearing "take my word for it". The problem here is that I can't really think of too many people here that either 1. Actually have evidence that these results are true or 2. Have evidence and aren't lazy enough to keep from explaining why the evidence is true.

I suppose though that if you did some google searches you could easily find it out.
 
Even if one doesn't know to add 15c to speedfan, one would have a hard time believing that running Orthos on all cores is going to produce temps in the 30c area.....that's just not going to happen with air cooling.
 
AFAIK Speedfan wasn't optimized for quad cores and is still assuming that TJunction is 85C hence 15C difference.
