Hi all !
So here it goes :
At cold boot up the readings are :
Core0 Temp:
               +9?C
Core1 Temp:
              +26?C
temp1:       +15?C  (low  =    -1?C, high =  +127?C)   sensor = diode
temp2:       +25?C  (low  =    -1?C, high =  +127?C)   sensor = thermistor
So pretty consistent with the internal CPU probe.
After a while the temps stabilize as follow :

Core0 Temp:
              +11?C
Core1 Temp:
              +28?C

temp1:       +17?C  (low  =    -1?C, high =  +127?C)   sensor = diode
temp2:       +27?C  (low  =    -1?C, high =  +127?C)   sensor = thermistor
It seems the MOBO gets warm during the initialization phase and then 
stick to the 25~30 ?C
And that the CPU slowly rise from the cold to the 17~27 ?C (when I let 
the CPU go idle it fall to 17 ?C so CPU freq scqlling is working ;-) )
Thanks a lot Rudolf for your help and advices !
