No, I'd say the CPU temperature is almost certainly wrong unless someone sneaked in with watercooling while your mum wasn't looking, I've yet to see a system where the CPU is significantly cooler than the motherboard without a specialist cooling solution although I suppose it could happen.

Maybe try Speedfan to see if that reports the temperatures differently? I'd check that the heatsink and fan are seated correctly and then try running a few programs like memtest86 and Prime95 to see if they show up any problems.

It may help using the latest version of Everest (even the trial version) as the last free version of Everest home had a few problems with some temp sensors.

Everest always showed temps wrong for me iirc
