63C and 75C sound far too hot for a motherboard. Some utilities report bogus information because of variation in chipsets, reverse engineering that doesn't work 100%, etc.

A CPU fan can only cool to ambient temperature, which is what your m/b sensor is supposed to be measuring. It's impossible for the CPU temp to be significantly lower than your ambient case temp unless you're doing something like water cooling.
