Firstly as i can see, you are not sure if the readings are correct. try this
Run your system at full load and touch with your hand the base of the Thermalright. If you can feel , that is hotter than your body then probably the readings are correct. If you cannot see the difference then probably the readings are wrong and you probably don't need to do something with your cooling.
