Okay, so I have this chip, and I'm using the stock cooler. The temperature warning on the motherboard is set to kick in at 60C and it started bleeping when i was encoding. However the CPU core never went over 43C according to AMD Overdrive. I quickly reset the computer and the BIOS said 53C. I'm really confused unless the CPU sensors are broken.

Thoughts?!?
 
Idling everest reports 54C whereas CPU Core 1 & 2 show as 38C, I don't know which one to believe.

I have a Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P with the F5 BIOS.
