Faulty DS4 or do they all have sys and CPU temp backwards?

I didn't think much of it, but in an ambiant temp of now 20C, my CPU temp is 17C, Sys temp is 35C (idle).

CoreTemp reports 25C on 0, 24C on 1, both in C0 state.

mobo temp readings are usually off, CoreTemp is probably within 1-5%

My DS4 gives very similar temps to that. I think it needs a good airflow over the heatsink between the CPU and rear sockets to bring it down but with a C2D in there the CPU fan just doen't run fast enough to do this.

Probably about right for the Scythe, my mates got one on his Asus P5B and his reports about 20c or less.
