The recorded temps using Asus Probe and BIOS are different. Why is this, it seems BIOS is 4c to 6c higher, (CPU TEMP). So what should i trust? I just used a Compressed air can and my computer is now 9c cooler, WOW! Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Neither or both. They are essentially same since when you are in BIOS, it is not idling, it is running processor around 40% loadish under windows. (comparitively speaking)
 
My A7N8X-X reports temps within 1C of my Aerogate2 probe. They're both agreeing on 34C for my CPU at 2.4GHz right now. ;)
