I agree that I may get a bad mount of my waterblock. Before re-mounting the WB, I guess I may check the water temp as suggested by Jaydee116 to see whether it is normal or not. Do you think it is logical?

You for sure want the water in temp. That is the actual ambient of your block, because that is the active fluid cooling your setup.
Also, OK...that isn't a pic of your CPU on this thread. But, is the temp probe in the photo representative of the same place where you have mounted your temp probe? Because if it is, you are getting a better measurement of the ceramic package silicon's temp than the CPU die. Silicon has a high specific heat. If you want to find out yourself, since you live in HK, head down to New Territories and get yourself some sand off the beach. Then, put a blowtorch to it, and watch how long it takes to heat it up and cool down when the blowtorch is removed. I think that is a big factor in your high initial temp/low delta issue, at least if that is the way your thermal probe is mounted.
