On a similar subject does anyone know about the Abit KD7 mobo issue with Temperature readings?

I mean it does have TWO CPU readings... one core CPU temp and one surface CPU temp. (don't ask me how they could get the core temp.)
The srface temp is about 15oC cooler than the core

I have heard that the temp you get into windows through various programs is actaully 15oC or so higher than the actual temperature of the CPU. Does anyone know any more about this?
Are they reading the wrong reading or is the CPU core temp the one everyone shoudl be worried about?
