ISTR that quite a few motherboards have their own diode which is a little springy thingy undearneath the CPU (so that it contacts the underside of the CPU).
Readings from that will be fairly high because of the nicely insulated space between the underside of the CPU and the motherboard.
If modern stuff takes readings from the actual CPU, you may have to question the accuracy of the sensor. They aren't designed to be accurate to 1 degree, they are designed to (help) stop runaway thermal overload.
