So my CPU temp shows at 87C-91C, If i touch the computer it is cold. When i play a game as dragon age origins the temperature DROPS, YES DROPS to 44C and the computer becomes HOTTER, YES YOU HEAR IT RIGHT.

So what is the problem?

I use speedfan, real temp and core temp,

Only speedfan shows CPU temp and its as i stated above, cores are fine when I play normal games fifa, league of legends, dota the cores might go as high as 70C but they are usually at 30-40 while not gaming and 45-70 while I am its about the game though.

but funny thing is the CPU temp always goes down when i enter a game I mean seriouslly?
 
When CPU is on idle open task manager and see its usage. If it is higher than 20% go to Processes tab. There sort out processes in accordance with CPU usage and kill the unnecessary ones starting from top.

That should free it up .. But I must say I am shocked and amazed at the fact that a CPU is hot on idle and cool when under load .. :D

When not in game :
GPU 41C
System 30C
CPU 87C
AUX 77C
HDD 42C
COre 0 38C
Core 1 37C
core 2 33C
core 4 41C



When in game :

GPU 52C
System 38C
CPU 51C
AUX 42C
HDD 48C
Core 0 58C

Those temps seem normal, either I'm reading it wrong or that's the opposite of what you said is going on. Don't look at the CPU temp really, only look at the cores. That's reading the socket temp and is known to not be very trustworthy, and if it was actually that hot you'd be seeing some throttling to some degree or maybe even a power down. Without knowing what kind of CPU you actually have that is over the TJ max of some CPUs, so that's what I was talking about with shutting down. The cores and GPU look fine though.
 
Alright that clears things .. Your cores are basically just fine and they get well "hotter" when under load.
Is that some sort of malware reverting temperature reading?

Run a CPU stress test and see what happens .. I am sure something is wrong in here.
