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.
There is not any water cooling involved and I can only tell you what the software is reporting.

At the present (the sun has shifted so it is now cooler in my office) the mother board is showing 52C...the CPU 30C...the AUX 30C and the HD 44C.
