Q6700 CPU/core temps? Which are correct?

Hi,

This has puzzled me for a few years, but since I don't have any stability issues I never really investigated it. I have a Q6700 @ 3.3GHz, running at 1.45V (1.42V droop at max load) on a P5B-Deluxe (P965 chipset). Heatsink is a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme w/ Scythe 1200rpm fan.

CPUID Hardware Monitor (1.18) reports the following:

CPUINT:
Idle: 27c
Max: 55c

Core0/1:
Idle: 40c
Max: 70c

Core 2/3
Idle: 35c
Max: 65c

I assume the core temperatures are correct, but does it make sense the the "CPUINT" temp (I assume this is a temp sensor on top of the die package versus on the actual cores within) is ~15c lower than the peak core temps?

Or is there a +15c offset that CPUID Hardware Monitor/Speedfan etc. do not detect?

Thanks
