Nope, 23c is about what my normal ambient is, we have the heating on a lot in the UK.

Most likely a faulty sensor.

Yep broken sensor, your CPU temps CAN NOT be lower than your ambient temps, it's not possible with air cooler or water cooling.

I guess your motherboard doesn't have a "system" temp probe which would give you a better reading on your ambient temps.

How are you reading your ambient temp OP? Digital or analog thermometer?

analog thermometer

if you stand in from of a fan on a hot day you get cold but the room stays the same temp so isnt that the same principle

I wouldn't trust the reading its giving you, the older style mercury thermometers are not very accurate (my mother is a nurse, they all use digital now), some times the reading can very by up to 10C.

no it's not, the CPU is constantly generating heat, the fan on your ceiling is only moving the hot air around, not exhausting it. The reason you get cold is because the sweat on your skin is evaporating

so the temps could be right but my equipment is wrong? how would i test a faulty sensor?

on a cold day then, when you dont sweat and the body is constantly producing heat and you stand in front of a fan that is on a stand which is what the cpu cooler looks like the body tmeps drop and it doesnt have to be a person it also works on bottles and other objects ?????

17C isn't right mate, I'll put money on it being a faulty CPU diode sensor. It's rather common and nothing to worry about really, as long as it not reporting stupid temps like -12349083 c on core 1 and - 2C on the others.

Evaporation and thermal transfer. Heat will move to the cold surface heating it up to the surrounding temp. ( room temp being 25C drink temp being about 5C)
