Confused about cpu temps

Hey there

I know there are about 100000 threads about this already, but I am just wondering if you could help me with knowing what temperatures I should be looking at on CoreTemp and HWMonitor. I have an AMD FX 6300.

At Idle, hwmonitor reads :
TMPIN0 - 23C
TMPIN1 - 37C
TMPIN2 - 27C
And the Package Temp reads : 12C

However, during just 2 minutes of prime25 ( never done it before so i just did blend, plus 6 tests since i have 6 core cpu? ), the TMPIN1 temp shot up to 57C and the package temp to 225C O.O so I ended the test right away.
CoreTemp also had the same reading.

Can someone please clarify the temps and help me decide if my pc is cool or overheating? I'm trying to decide whether I need a new cpu fan/thermal paste or not :)

Thank You
