Why is everyone recommending Everest and Speedfan? Isnt it a fact that their temperature monitors are incorrect compared to Coretemp? I remember reading in a review for sure that Speed fans temps were off by 10-15 Celcius, and Everest was giving me ridiculously low temperatures as well when i had my e6600 ( said my mobo was 25 celcius when the bios said it was 55 celcius ).
 
For some people, it's different. For me, Speedfan is inaccurate, but Everest is really accurate. CoreTemp matches, my Everest readings.
 
Coretemp seems to be accurate for me while speedfan is the standard 15 degrees off.

B3 = 52ish idle
G0 = 40ish idle
glad i traded up
