I know that some temp software gives me false reading too, & as for as5.i just put very little & then spreed it with my finger,so i get a thin but even coat

temp sensors are bugged..same issues with other brisbanes..

Sounds like your case needs better cooling, as if that HSF is seated right with AS5, you shouldn't be getting those temps. Try taking off the side panel and see if that helps any.
Also, while the core temps on most brisbanes are messed up, usually the overall CPU temp is pretty close. Try some different software to see if you cant find the right temp. I'd suggest HW monitor, speedfan and OCCT.
Also, you can find your approximate load temp with BIOS (which is how I could tell you're running hot, even if it is a brisbane).
BIOS is about a 60-80% load, so you just take you're BIOS cpu temp, and then do some simple math to see about where you should be with your load temp in windows.
In your case, you look like you're loading between 60-80c which is definitely unsafe for OCin. I would make sure that your CPU is getting the right voltage in the BIOS (stock vcore for most of these is 1.25-1.35v), as I've seen them set on auto to the wrong voltage before, creating temp problems.
Good luck

If your temps really are 46c under load, then you've got enough headroom to try a bit of overclocking. Try to keep it under 55c while loaded though.
Good luck

that is true and it works like a vacuum but it depends on what state you are from and what the room temperature... i have 3 exhaust fans one on the video card, by the cpu and one on top... idea is to keep the air moving and not letting it sit in one place or recircullate
