2.86GHz.... push it! In my experience, upping the voltage to get to 3.2GHz only added 1C of load temp.

Depends on the mobo. My P5B deluxe, like yours reads usually a couple to few degrees different than TAT on PCProbeII. On my P5WDH however, TAT and PCProbe can be 15C different from each other for cpu reading

. So asus probe is so far off it's sickening, when TAT tells me 55 under load, probe tells me 40 lol.
Like syrillian said, it's sensors in different locations. Depending on the mobo, they can vary a little or alot. PCProbe is trying to "guess" if you will what cpu temp is, by going off a sensor that's probably near, but not at the core. I have no idea why they do it that way, since it's obvious that it's painfully wrong sometimes. It changes with other softwares as well, you might try 3 different cpu temp reading programs, and have them all tell you different. TAT though is the one you always believe, it gets the temp right off the core. I would disregard what asus probe says for cpu temp, most likely it's not true.
