SteamFan not very accurate?

I was playing CS:S for a good 3 hours and I quit, checked temps from SteamFan and it said my Temp 2 was 53C...which is hot (i OC'd my computer last night some). But then i quickly went to BIOS and checked temps and it was only at 32-36C.

I was wondering if there are any other programs that are more accurate than SteamFan.

Thanks.

You could try SpeedFan.

Btw, it does not take long for the temps to drop back down to the level BIOS is showing.

Should I just try backing up maybe 2 or so on the OC?

53C is well within specs and is absolutely fine, dont worry.
