Seems to me that if the temperature was actually that much higher, some
basic rules of physics are being broken by your machine.....  I could be
wrong, but it seems to me that for the internal temp of the case
(motherboard) to be raised by 24-26 degrees, the CPU itself would have to
get a whole lot hotter than the same 24-26 degrees.  (Assuming, of course,
that the MB temp sensor isn't physically mounted directly beneath the CPU.
If it is, you bought a motherboard designed by morons - get a different
one.)  

I'd have to agree that you're seeing a software reporting error, not an
actual temperature increase....  Try it with a real thermometer, and if
you don't have one of those, use your thumb.  You'll feel the difference
if it's that much hotter.
