I read and re-read where it was suggested that you put a breeze on the cpu, however, I missed the part where you did that.

Its my understanding that the air cooled cpu's move the hot air away from the thermistor that measures temp for the cpu. Placing a fan (to test) on the cpu area to move the stagnant air. If the cpu temp drops by a 2-4C from doing this, the mobo sensor is picking up the unmoved accumilated air around and under the cpu. Record the temp change. This amount can be removed from your watercooling temps as an error correction.

I am wondering where your 2 fans are that normally are placed near that empty space above your video card and to the left of your cpu.
