You have to tweak I8kfan to read correct settings.

Set it up so that it matches ATITool/Ntune.

CPU-Z's reading is the one that you use. I8kfan will not give you the correct reading, and there is no way you can tweak it. becasue the idle temp and load temp are vary in different degree...

You can always tweak it.

My I8kfan matches ATITool, Ntune, and Everest (they show same temps).

I showed how to here.

Thank you, what I did is that I ran an "artefact test" in ATI Tools to heat up the GPU, then I compared the temperatures, and put an "offset" of +8c in I8kfanGUI to match the temp readed in GPU-Z and EVEREST.

Thanks again for your answers guys
