Built-in is simply an option, but even that has various values it can read. You can also configure it to use an entirely different programs - many do. It looks like the default is "Core Temp" value, so that is what you want it to read under load, as to apose to "CPU Temp" from the motherboard or other software that reads "CPU Temp" as this will be inaccurate at load.
See my screenshots below:
(Keep in mind that idle temps are inaccurate)
