So, ever since HWMonitor updated a while ago i have had these temp readings:

I have dismissed these as faulty readings because of it going from freezing to boiling in seconds, but ever since i watched a video on VRM Capacitors and how some of them can operate at 120c for 5000 hours before popping got me a little bit worried. It also made me think back to when there was a pop with sparks around the CPU power socket a little over a year ago, which caused the PC to shutdown after playing skyrim with heavy graphical mods.
 
Solution
Not every motherboard has all the possible sensors that it could have. The ones that show obviously impossible results should be filtered from your display IMO.
