The larger concern is that the motherboard is either an Asus A7V or A7V-133 by my guess (check the riser card for power components).

Asus uses a surface mount thermistor that measrues the air temp under the socket and extrapolates what the CPU temp must be to get that temp. Since this is a pretty indirect method, it usually produces pretty far off results. Try pointing an 80mm fan at the wb; temps usually drop around 5C...
