While playing FC3 at Ultra my PC's CPU which is the AMD Athlon 760K was hitting 51-76 degrees Celsius, this was a bit high especially seeing that my cooler was a Cooler Master 212 EVO for the fact that I can avoid these temps. So I am a bit worried and I go off of FC3 and go to my bios, when I get to it, it's 39 degrees Celsius and I'm like what the...

 

The programs which told me these temperatures were Speccy and HW monitor, are these wrong? The BIOS is the most accurate and when I get to it, it's just 35-39 degrees Celsius.

Well, your CPU gets hot when you're playing the game. When you go into your BIOS, you are no longer playing the game. Then, the CPU cools down again to idle temps.

It's a 760K, that isn't bad.

 

As for the lower temps in the BIOS, you are stopping the game, removing any load on your PC. Of course the temps would be lower.

If he gets out of the game and in like 10 seconds enter bios, the cpu will still be hot, it can't dissapate heat so fast, so he will get accurate readings.
