I would just go off the CPU temp to be safe

Making things difficult? I think alot of people her watch the core temp as opposed to the CPU temp. Also, the difference between the core temp and CPU temp can be way more than 3-5C. At full load my Q6600 CPU temp is 10C lower than my core temp. Besides the temperature sensor that the CPU watches to determine when to thermal throttle, is the *core temp*.
I'm just trying to share some info with the OP. Why don't you make things less difficult by trying to act a little more professional.
