This tells me my cpu temp is 39 celcius. In the bios it tells me 56 celcius. Which one is correct. Thanks

Possibly both are correct. The BIOS temp reading is taken without Cool & Quiet, so the processors aren't throttled-down with lower voltage and clock speeds as they are with OS booted and at idle.

clock speeds: max: 3600 MHz 1: 1847 MHz 2: 1851 MHz 3: 2080 MHz 4: 1860 MHz
