Afterburner Values Wrong

I reapplied the thermal paste to my CPU after learning I applied too much and it runs cooler. Afterburner reports my temps @ idle to be around 40-44 celsius. HWinfo 64 reports my temps @ idle to be around 29-33 celsius. Which is correct? Or is it somewhere in between and every software is slightly wrong?

 

Here is HWiNFO64's temps:

Here is Afterburners take on the situation:

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.
