I don't trust the CH4 CPU socket temp. Check this out. Using a H50 I would get to around 55C. Switched to a custom water cooling loop, with a Radiator almost 4 times bigger. Switched pumps from a 450L per hour to 750L per hour. Switched from an OCZ HF-MK1 to the EK supreme HF Full copper, which is supposed to be the best water block.
All that and I still maintain a CPU socket temp of around 55C.
I think the sensor is somehow reading the motherboards surface temp. As the electricity flows through the mobo and into the CPU the mobos surface also gets hot. So there you have it, from now on I go with the core temp readings.
