I'd get a DVM and/or oscilloscope on the power supply lines going to the 
MB- just to verify that the sensors are a little bit messed up...

Great! You've somehow figured out how to reverse normal thermal flow!
Maybe the CPU is plugged in backwards... ;)

Seriously, I'd double-check the voltages in there, don't believe what 
the sensors are telling you.. like has been said elsewhere, check the 
BIOS settings as well.
