Check out the pictures of the Sensor Tests. My E8400's temp sensors are both stuck. If you were me and you could RMA this CPU, would you keep it or RMA it?

I have owned this E8400 since April 2009. I have kept it at stock settings and it has been great. But the Sensors are stuck. I am going to Overclock my computer soon, and I want to know what my Idle and Load temps are accurately, if at all possible. I would hate to OC the CPU, have it die on me due to false temp readings, and then not be able to RMA it. So what would you do?
