Celcius.

Also the RPM sensor on my Delta does not work. Is that at the blue wire. I checked and confirm that the connection is there. Is there anything I can do?

Does your Bios have an option called PC Health? If it does, does it display the same temp?

Which fan are you using again?

There are actually 3 different delta models of 80mm focused flow...

47cfm (seldom seen)
68cfm
80cfm

Is it overclocked at all, and are you using any Arctic Silver? Sorry for all the questions, trying to get a clear understanding of what is happening...

P.S. Just thought of another question... is your case in a well ventilated space, or is it behind a closed door in a cabinet or something?

Nope not o/c. No artic silver.

Fan Spec:

Maker: DELTA
Model: FFB0812EHE
Size: 80 x 80 x 38 (mm)
Bearing: Dual Ball Bearing System
Voltage: 12V
Speed: 5700 rpm

I suspect it the contact btw the CPU and the heatsink AX7 but I tried remounting but it's still the same even I left the left panel open.

Only thing I can think of atm is that the base of the HS and your CPU doesn't have good contact. Did you consider lapping the HS at all? There are some very good guides and links to guides here on the forums. Just do a search for "lapping" and see how others have done it.

Yup I've lapped it...

Also the RPM on my Delta Fan, anyone can help me?

This is the arrangement:
left pin - blue
center pin - red
right pin - black

No RPM reported.

do you have anything between the HS and the cpu at all?

as for the rpm reporting, no idea what you could do to fix it, i have the same thing with one of my mb connectors.

Ok, I've the copper shim and the temp have reduced to 55+ degree after loadin windows and it will go to 65+. Is that normal? After removin the copper shim, will it damage the cpu? Is there anythin to reduce the temp. Should I apply thermal grease or somethin? Any recommendation?

PS: I've emailed to Delta regardin this. Do you think I've a possiblility of changin the fan?

Get yorself some As3 and apply some to that poor cpu

That way you should see better performance

If i may ask,are you running the ax-7 without applying anykind of thermal grease?
