I'll believe the BIOS temps. The MBM temps are way too high. With MBM, bring
up the Settings panel, select Temps, then select CPU, then walk down the list
of board sensors until you find one that agrees with the BIOS. Aida may have
something like MBM's choices; I stopped using it in favor of Everest, which
had the right temps out of the box.
