I'm not sure if this is legit or not, has anyone been having problems recently with core temp, or is my system just really freaking cold.
is core temp broken?

You should go to overclocking forums and google first for this kind of stuff.
It's just the way AMD made their FX chips, it should be accurate when actually active. Read up here:

Those temps aren't accurate unless you're using liquid nitrogen or a phase change cooling system.
Even with water-cooling, you won't get temps much lower than room temp without extreme (phase change/ln2) cooling. I don't use that program so I don't know its flaws, but that's certainly not accurate.

My link explained it. It's AMD's temperature reporting system that is wrong as a design choice (it's accurate during heavy activity/load), and not the program (which gets data from it).

If you are not satisfied with Core Temp, check your numbers with Open Hardware Monitor
You can even have the tool sit in the background and customize what displays. Here is mine

I guess I should give up on expecting people to read a post besides OP.
