For some reason my CPU package temp. is around 60-70°C idle and 75-85°C while gaming and my CPU cores temps. are around 20-30°C, and my games seems to be running fine, but I'm still scared. Whats going on?

SPECS:
CPU: AMD A8-6500
GPU: Radeon HD 8570D intergrated
CPU cooler: Cooler master hyper T2

Not sure what those are.

The only measurements for AMD processor are socket temperature (a diode on the motherboard under the CPU), and Tctl (a synthetic value derived from a TDP calculation). The only one that matters is Tctl, which can be read correctly as Thermal Margin in AOD.
