The cpu has a built in thermal sensor, so motherboard sensors are irrelevant.
If your using realtemp, or coretemp then your reading from the built-in sensor.
I have a e4300 in one machine and yes it can get really hot at stock voltage, it will do ~2750mhz on stock volts, and will load in the 70's depending what is loading it, i.e. prime95 10k fft's will really make it sweat.
Also I've seen i7's get way hotter when running stress test's, so no I don't think it's quite as hot as i7,
and mid 70's arent that bad especially considering your running stress test, your normal apps won't load it as hot.
