Huge difference between Koolance temp and motherboard temp

[DoughKey]

I just installed a Koolance Exos last night and everything seems to be working fine but the temperature seems to be considerably different than I expected. I've got an Abit IT7-MAX and I remember something about abit's temperature readings being a litte off. Even if the abit temperature reading is 10c off thats still a 13.5c difference. Is this normal? I didn't expect the Koolance reading to be exact because of the way it's attached to the block and I know that my temps read higher than most others.

It's attached to aphrodisia which you can see in my sig. She's currently running at 3.5Ghz but there is still a huge difference at lower clocks.

block temp and cpu die temp will always be different. don't worry about it. those sensors are only good for relative readings anyways, relative to that one sensor
