PC Wizard says 28C (but this is the average)... and i think when i looked at the BIOS it was the same as the Core Temp.....
20C is close to impossible as that would imply that you ambient temperature would be >20C by quite alot

did you spread the thermal paste evenly over the cpu?

what i do is spread it with the back end of the tube so its even (ish) then before securing the fan/heatsink ont the cpu i put it on and give it a bit movement in circular movements (no pressure)
Who is this to???

It doesn't matter how many vents you have, it is impossible for your CPU to be cooler than your room (in your case).

Just because your program/sensor says it's 20C doesn't mean that it actually is.

I don't think anyone is questioning that your readings are what you say they are or that your setup is poor. It's just the whole breaking-the-laws-of-thermodynamics thing.
