Are the CPU temp sensors on slot Athlon motherboards accurate at all?

Motherboard Monitor and BIOS both report the case temp around 27C and the CPU temp around 33C. I'm just worried that the CPU is running hotter than it's reporting. How can a sensor on the motherboard report the temp of something that's inside a plastic case and two inches above the mobo?

Remove CPU. Place a bit of termal paste on the censor. Assembly it again.
Try now.

P.S.
MOBO has two independent termoresistors. look into your manual for more details
