I believe the 2C on the right is a gadget with the weather. 2C seems to be the outside temp.
Now, the CPU-Z shows 4C at no load. Hardly a difference, I know, but possibly was right after booting, and there was no load. 20C at load is pretty realistic though.
The CPU-Z screen shot is as proof as you can get.

The result is a really really cold CPU. Right now its still pretty warm here (thank god!), but when it gets cold, I will post a pic of my core temp for you guys.

And hows with humidity in Your area? Idea is good but I'd also dry the air before putting it inside my computer

omg I was thinking of the same thing! I am in Florida though, the lowest temp so far (winter is just beginning) is 53f so it would still be cooler. But I have a hollow space below my home so right now my computer sits on the floor, I was just thinking of running mine through the floor with filters and such....
