Just another one to prove the theory....

I am glad you got temps to drop...

The biggest thing I see is too much/many exhaust fans near a PSU....These can really have a negative effect...Actually pulling the warm air from the PSU into the case...If you have too much exhaust it has to draw the air from somewhere and it will from the shortest path....

Some say the temp reading difference can be software error...but unless you have access to a pyrometer ( infrared heat scanner) you may not know...A hardware temp controller may be able to pinpiont which is more accurate...Most say the bios is..but I know some of them to be way off...ans 10 degrees is about the norm....
