Can you state what tests you did to bring it to full load, on what hardware, how long it was maintained at this workload before you started monitoring the temperature, and what equipment you used to measure the temperatures?

It's not enough just to offer the result - you could be running an underclocked Duron 750 for all I know

14ºC is very low for an air-cooled heatsink, so either you're running a fairly slow and old chip with that heatsink (in which case it will not be asking the lump to dissipate anything like as much heat as it can) or you're using the onboard temperature monitoring, rather than properly placed thermocouples, and are looking at an error of +/- 50% in that result.
