Default Core Temp or Easytune 5? for temps

the easytune 5 is the software that comes with the motherboard to check cpu temp voltage and stuff. but the problem is that when i look into coretemp it shows that core#0 is 42C and core#1 is 40C and in easytune 5 it says it is 48C for the cpu. why is that?

What does Everest Home and the BIOS say?

I would trust ET5 more than CoreTemp. In my case (I have that exact same motherboard), ET always been more accurate. ET5, Everest, and Speedfan all show almost the exact same temps for me. Everest is a great program for monitoring temps. You should install it. I've never used Coretemp, but it seems to be rather popular around these boards.

48 seems rather high though.
