Forum Overclocking : CPUs Temp and Bios

Two weeks ago i asked for help on temps for my Phenom 960t with a corsair h60. I took your advice and completely removed all the thermal paste and re applied some Arctic Silver Ceramique. I also went ahead and updated my ASUS M5A97 Evo bios. And for some reason when i updated it to the newest BIOS (0902) it wouldn't boot if i had core unlocker enabled. Instead of just loading the old one back on i tried the bios version that came out just before that and everything seem to be working just fine. Now to my problem my temps and voltage don't seem to add up. I have overclocked it to 3.6ghz on 1.308 voltage. I'm using a corsiar H60 with two 120 mm connected to the radiator in a push pull. My temps max's out at 56 C on prime 95. Am i doing something wrong shouldn't the temps be cooler or is the voltage not reading right? Here is a screen

Any help is appreciated.

Voltage appears correct both CPU-Z and Asus report the same 1.308v.
Nothing wrong with 56C on Prime 95 = temps you'll never see during daily use.
Download CoreTemp and HWMonitor for further comparison.
