Cosmos II motherboard temperature

Can someone tell me if everything is okay? How on earth is the temperature of the motherboard 97 degrees Celsius?
The laptop doesn't feel hot and the fans aren't loud so I suspect a malfunctioning sensor. What should I do?

I have the same processor, RAM and thermal paste as you and have never approached anywhere close to 97 degrees. It's hard to get this above 50.

If it was truly at 97 degrees the fan should be going crazy trying to expel that heat. Is the fan working properly? If it is then I'd suggest 97 degrees is a false reading, as that's the type of temperature that soon leads to thermal shutdown.
