It is worthy of sharing here because it shows how temperatures are calculated and why there is an apparent anomaly:



My personal thanks to Arthur for taking time out to respond...
Just to had a little more understanding to the temp subject.

The Tjuction Max is the thermaltrip point of the CPU. (The point at which it will shut down) The throttle point is 5°c lower than TJmax. Max Case temp is the temp measured at the center of the CPU Heat shield. There is a 10° delta between the TJ and the Case Temp.

For CPU health the temp should never be anymore than 20°c under the TJmax, or a case temp of 30° under the TJmax. (That said i still don't want my CPU sniffing 60°c)
