Evaporation and thermal transfer. Heat will move to the cold surface heating it up to the surrounding temp.

ok then cheers mate but is there any way i could test it by any chance?

The best way I can think of is running it in another board, if the temps are normal then it's your motherboard, if not then it must be the diode.

No worries, hope you get it sorted

I have a v8 as I dont understand how it is posible my 955 idles at 45 on stock settings

From what I could see, it showed your actual CPU temp being 37C. The core temp usually ends up being around 5-10C cooler than that. So in theory, to be safe, add about 10C when you stress test. If you find the actual temp of the CPU, you can download something like speedfan if you'd like to monitor temps. Through there you can set a temperature offset.

Speedfan? My V8 runs my phenom 940 on 2 cores idle @29c

Foxy@OC'D · 10-20-09

use something else than HWM to monitor temps

It's a temp monitoring program that can also control fan speeds if need be. It's a beefier version of CoreTemp with a lot more features.

The body temps drop because your body is 90 something degrees and the air temp is colder. If you sat there forever with the wind blowing on you, you'd die, and would still never get colder than the ambient temp. As flux said, the only way to get cooler than ambient is if moisture is evaporating off of your surface. This moisture could come from sweat, rain, or from heavy moisture content in the air (below the dew point), etc.

You could do this with your computer..... rig up a water sprayer to spray water on your heat sink. As the fans blew air over it, the water would evaporate and as it did, carry extra heat away with it. Obviously this is a really dumb idea in a computer because water would be going everywhere, but you could do it with a water-cooled setup by having a remote radiator and spraying water on it. Probably not worth the mess but I was just trying to illustrate the science behind it.
