Noticing my computer has been running its fans at max while playing some games, I opened Open Hardware Monitor and noticed one of my cores was hovering at around 90 C. Well, that'd do it. Closed out of the game I was playing, watched load drop to virtually nothing, temp kept increasing. It's now sitting at 105 C with no load and with all other cores around it sitting in the 20-35 range. Fans are running at their baseline, and it doesn't seem like part of my CPU is melting, but not exactly sure how to figure this one.
Current OHM readings
Any help on what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I just unplugged everything, spent a solid 30 minutes cleaning out the case and fans completely. Plugged back in, reading is now hotter than before at 107 C. Should point out that no part inside the case was scalding hot, either.
