In my experience, unless you have done the mobo mod to read the CPU thermal diode directly, the temps reported by the thermistor on the NF7-S will tend to be about 3-5C high compared to the CPU thermal diode, particularly if you are pushing the VCore up and then loading the CPU. The thermistor picks up heat from the VCore regulator and reports it as CPU temp.

However, since this is within the margin of error for the temp measurement from the Winbond chip to start with......
