Problem with a temperature reading

I have a client with a 3GHz Prescott on a Intel brand 865 chipset motherboard.

Now the Intel Active Monitor utility gives a CPU reading that can get up to 70 degrees easily when it is under load, with a 35 degree for the motherboard under the zone 1 reading and 43 under the zone 2 reading.

EVEREST Home Edition (a superd free utility that tells you all about your PC you might want to know
Everest Download) gives the exact same reading as zone 2 in the Intel utility as the CPU temp while the motherbaord reading on both are the same but the high CPU temp from the Intel utility is listed under Aux in Everest.

Now, what I'd like to know, does anyone have any idea what component can be going up to 70 degrees under load? (the CPU temp in Everest goes up to 55 under load)

Feel free to ask me questions for clarification.
