Temp. Monitoring Program

I found out the AMD CPU/Motherboards have terrible temp monitoring/ accurate temps. Does anyone know of a good FREE software that gives trust able results. The reason why I ask this is because I stress tested my CPU for a 30 min and I stop increasing @ 41 degrees. Which I thought was odd for being a 125watt TDP chip. Thanks for any help.

 

Edit it idles @ 25 degrees according to AISuite 

CPU-- AMD FX-8320 (Stock), Motherboard-- ASUS M5A99FX PRO R 2.0, RAM-- Team 8gb 1600Mhz, GPU-- Sapphire 7870 GHz with OC Edition, Case-- NZXT Tempest 210, PSU-- Corsair CX600m, HDD, 1tb Seagate & 2tb WD External, Monitor-- Dell S2240M IPS Display, Keyboard/Mouse-- Some Logitech keyboard and some Dell mouse, Speakers-- Logitech Z533

Ok so I installed HWMonitor and there are 2 CPU temps. Which one do I use? (How do I add a picture from my PC?

to add a picture:

I presume you're using windows 7 or 8 and an english version.

- press the printscreen key on your keyboard(this will store a screenshot on your clipboard). then paste the screenshot in an image-editing program(like paint), save the file and upload it. OR directly upload from your clipboard using imgur .

(don't use this method because we don't want to see everything on your computer)

- search your computer for a little program called "snippingtool", use it to select an area on your screen and then save or upload to imgur.

this should all be rather self-explanatory.

edit: each CPU temp will probably refer to one of your CPU cores(presuming you only have 1 cpu)

I want to choose the higher temp (26 degree) becasue it seems more realistic. My room is at 18 degrees C
