Should I be concerned about this. I've used other temperature reading programs and the discrepancy is still there though the individual values are different.

I've remounted the HSF and applied the thermal paste several times but there's still no change.

Anybody have any idea what the problem might be?
this is a notorious problem with the Penryn and Wolfdale processors...intel did something that screwed up the DTS design in the 45NM cpu's...it is probably WHY Intel does not publish any material on DTS sensors and spec for each processor because doing so would make it easy for people to declare a warranty problem.
