Im sorry, I do not know what the most accurate is, but I definatly do not think that the motherboard is the most accurate. Hell no it isnt. Check out the link in my sig.

I think (despite it not being accurate) the CPU internal diode is what you should go by (if that is what you wanted to measure the temp of. Im not sure).

I think this becuase:

1.) Even if it is not accurate, the CPU manufactures supply a maximum temperature rating for the CPU BASED OFF OF the internal diode.

2.) Usually the internal diode would naturally be accurate due to the ability to fine tune it vs. the small diode in the socket (some have big blue things in the socket, mine is so tiny you can hardly see it)

I hope that helps some, sorry if I could not be of much help.

CHeers!
