AMD A8-7100 "overheating" but not hot at all

bought a new laptop a week ago (AMD A8-7100 APU). One thing I noticed immediately after purchasing was that the cpu was ALWAYS (idle or not) running at 95-105 degrees Celsius even though it did not feel hot by touch.

Could my laptop really be overheating? or is this a broken sensor/software glitch?

I bought it at a store where the sales people are literally computer illiterate. They said if I would insist on using my warranty, they would have to send it to their main office where their technicians are and it would take at least 2 weeks. Now, I need my laptop for work and I cannot afford losing it for a day, let alone two weeks. I need some advice because if my laptop is not overheating, I'll ignore the temp readings. What do you guys think? It does not feel hot at all. I even placed it directly in front of our AC, temps only went down by 2-3 degrees. All other temp readings are fine just the cpu.

edit: more info: No problems whatsoever. I've even tried gaming on it for 5 straight hours. No crashes, no loud fans, no heat at all.

If your computer was at that temperature you would hear the fans going non-stop and you could feel heat as hot as a hair dryer shooting from the vents. If neither occurs its safe to say the CPU temp is being read wrong. If your CPU was at that temp, you would notice the heat by even bringing your hand close to (without touching) the bottom of your laptop.

When you do have time to bring it in, contact the manufacturer of your laptop and see if there is an authorized repair depot you can bring it to instead of trying to go back to the store which seems to be run by 14 year olds.

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. I just needed some extra reassurance in case I was wrong. I think its because temp readers weren't optimized for this apu yet. (I think it only came out this year) well anyway, thanks a lot!
