AMD Bulldozer incorrect temperatures

got into a bit of an argument:

My CPU temp using coretemp is currently 10c on idle, while this seems fine to me, it is 10+c cooler with water cooling than heatsink and fan, it is innacurate:

So any temperature monitor will be wrong.

But I'm sure that a radiator CAN be colder than ambient and using the freezer model is wrong.
Freezers use much higher rates of compression than simple fans, but they cool the air to -10c and not just reduce the ambient by 10c

Either way the sensor readings are wrong.

well dunno about water cooling, best to ask overlcockers.co.uk forums.
I would of thought you'd get colder as u say but then again the liquid can only cool to what is around it, i really don't know.
