guys

can anyone explain the difference in temps im getting between bios and in windows. seems a bit weird that they are so much lower in windows. (using Stock heat sink and no overclock)

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz
MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 (Socket 1155)

anyway

Bios

CPU Temp - 50 deg
SYS Temp - 32 deg
CPU Fan 2002 rpm


Windows

CPU Temp - 34 deg
SYS Temp - 32 deg

Core Temp

Core temp - C0 - 26 deg
Core temp - C1 - 28 deg
Core temp - C2 - 29 deg
Core temp - C3 - 28 deg

these core temps just look way too low

In the BIOS none of the energy saving features are enabled so the CPU is running faster and hotter than it does in Windows when those features are enabled.

In Windows the CPU downclocks to 1600MHz when idle. In the BIOS it's running at full speed.

High 20's is a pretty normal idle temperature.
