This may sound like a newbie question to some of you, but believe it or not, I have been building computers since the 386 time period. I have just never worried about cpu temperatures before.

I am running the following
Intel Pentium D 945 (Presler) 3.4 Ghz CPU
1Gig Ram
ATI X1300 AGP Video Card
Western Digital 120gig HD


What I am wondering is this, I notice in both the BIOS and through Speedfan I am getting two seperate temperatures, I get a Core Temperature and a System Temperature. I looked at the Pentium D 945 Specs, and it gives me the following:

Thermal Specification: 63.4°C

What I am unsure about is which of the two readings I should be using to gauge this?

If anyone can answer this question I would grealty apprecaite it.
