Wierd Temp Readings

Hi, i just realised that my cpu temp readings are really wierd
Mobo: P5E3 Deluxe wifi
CPU: Intel Q9250 Core 2 Quad
CPU cooler: Asus Silent Knight II

Coretemp shows the reading as 102 degrees celcius and the bios shows -31 degrees celcius

I know that the cpu is not really that hot as i have been running it for 2 years now
So whats wrong with the temp sensors?

Thanks

Could be just faulty temp sensors. How hot does the CPU cooler feel when you run something like Prime?

It feels a bit hotter than idle, but not dangerously hot

What does HW Monitor say?

That always says 31 degrees celcius, but only during prime95 stress testing, the MAX Value did change to 51 degrees

PC Probe is saying 225 degrees which is just fake
