How are the temperatures measured? I have the same CPU as you, and my
motherboard (Asus Maximus Formula, with Bios 0907) CLAIMS that the CPU
temperature is 23 deg.C, in a room where the ambient temperature is 24 deg
C. Motherboard reports 43; NB 49 and SB 48.5. Guess what, I don't believe
the CPU temperature. Someone on one of the Asus internet forums suggested
that you need to add 15 deg. C to the reported value to get close to the
actual value. Sounds reasonable. I don't know what the situation is with
your motherboard (and Bios - because different Bioses can report different
temperatures with the same hardware). You may need to seek further
information relating to Gigabyte Mobos and bios revisions.

Probably the best solution, if you are bothered - is to buy your own
temperature probes and calibrate them yourself.
