HW monitor says my CPU is 60 degrees C when idle, and up to 90C when gaming. Though, I put my hand in my case and it felt pretty cool. Also, my GPU and other parts are ~ 30 C. So I don't understand how my CPU could be going all the way up to 90 while the rest stays on 30. This is my HWMonitor:

Could there be something wrong? I checked my TX3 Evo, and there seems to be nothing wrong with the seating, I got a fan blowing in and out, PSU fan and double GPU fan. Only thing I can think of is the fact that I am using an A8-6600K (it's an APU, but I don't use the GPU on it).
