Did you check the probes before you installed them on the PC? It would be a pretty good idea to get both probes together and see what they read side by side. Wrap some plastic around them (water proof them) and get a cup of warm water and stir them around in the cup for a minute or so and see how they read together.

Also make absolutely sure that probe is not keeping the cooler off the CPU. 70C+ seems insanely hot. My stock AMD cooler keeps my CPU around 40C load.
