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...

the board is an A7V133..
questions
1) is my block on WRONG?
2) okay. its not internal diode reading, its understood and agreed that the reading is off.. but since its under the same room tempreture, same configuration.. same external diode...same casing - SK6 with 80mm sunon gives 56C max load.. this does 52C load.. so we can agree that using the block gives better tempreture..but its probably a 4-8C diffrence? (is it right to think this way?)
thanks for the replies so far, i'm a slow learner, but give me sometime i'll catchup.
airtrap/filling tube? i still need help on that
PS: thanks for the picture Pakman! pictures are worth a thousand words
