So you say it's not possible to have 22C air pumping into a case, and have a thermistor in a low airflow area soaking up dissipated heat to 25C, and have my cpu cooled by the 22C air to a nice 24C? Given that there are 2 80mm fans blowing air into the case towards the cpu, the large hsf fan (perpendicular to mobo, assisting airflow in direction towards back of case) and the 120mm fan directly behind the cpu/hsf sucking out hot air, I think this is entirely possible. And my cpu is actually INSIDE the case. What are you smoking? Its possible my cpu could be 22 and the ambient 25, due to the airflow. Whatever.
That's definitely possible. I think people got hung up on was something else you said that is impossible:

Some objects literally are colder in the same ambient temp. It's entirely possible given the hsf material and airflow to have the idle temp 1 deg less than ambient.. (wind chill factor? i'm sure it applies on some level as well.. pls dont flame me for saying that, just grasp the idea)
I don't know why some people have to be so rude when pointing out misunderstandings though.
