absurd temp/volt readings - give me some advice!

I'm wondering if perhaps I somehow wired something up wrong when I built the computer, as I'm getting frankly stupid readings from programs people frequently recommend on this forum. What's interesting is that they seem much more reasonable and correct in the BIOS. Examples:

everest says: +3.3v rail = 0.03v. BIOS says: 3.34v.
everest & speedfan says: CPU temp is 25C under load. CoreTemp says: 50C (that's the prime torture test).

Interestingly everest and speedfan both seem to match up with their temp readings on all probes. the 'aux' temp goes from 5C to 50C. :confused:

So, what's going on? Rig in my sig. It's just kind of worrying when you see people around the forum going "oh yeah my cpu/motherboard is at temp X under load, I'll clock is some more!" when I'm using the same programs as them and clearly getting faulty readings? Makes me wonder how many people are living dangerously with their temps. :p

Or have I done something wrong when building? I find it hard to believe as there didn't seem to be anything I could do wrong which might do this, and also the BIOS seems to give out reasonable readings, as does coretemp.
