Another excellently explained response to boost post count. However, I do agree to a point. When my Antec 550w was dying, plugging in additional case fans caused temps (CPU included) to rise and my PC to lock up.
Anyways, I'd go by the CPUTIN temperature, since core temperature vary per chip, and the CPUTIN is a sensor on the motherboard on the CPU.
My 7750 had core temps of 13 - 25C, my AII X3 has core temps of 20 - 35C. This was with the same cooler, but the X3 is 45nm so technically it should have lower temps. Since I got my H50 they've been lower, but I can't check them currently because I've unlocked the CPU and the core temperature sensors are disabled now.
As far as I know the individual core temps on these chips shouldn't and wont go to 60C, but CPUTIN will (which is the temperature of the entire processor), and that's the temp you need to watch. It's always worked for me.
I might be wrong though, anyone else have any thoughts on that?
Edit: Here are my temps while idle.
