coretemp is measured at the hottest part of the core, while
motherboard will tend to measure the surface temperature.  A few
degrees difference is expected.  Also that's a really nice temperature
for coretemp, perhaps you have really frigid air conditioning.  My
overclocked Core2Duo (@3.4 GHz) runs coretemps of 51C idle and up to
60C under full load... which is a huge improvement from my old Athlon
MPs which were 56-65C surface temperature.

I made a patch for KSensors, I don't use SysGuard.
