Fernando,

You may not have a problem. Many motherbaords have half a dozen different
sensors on the board. And whatever software you are using to monitor them may
not be calibrated correctly to them. Designs change very fast. This is very much
an issue if you are using MBM 5 (very popular), since it can monitor so many
sensors, and it is not clear which is which, or what the calibration is.

Now, if you are using software that came with your MB, then you probably _do_
have a heat problem. Go to round cables, improve airflow around the heatsink.
Consider getting a different HS combo, and add a fan to the case. Also, did you
mount the HS yourself? And was it the OEM HS? If so, you may have not put it on
properly (very easy to do).
