Agreed, but I think the sensors are in the CPU.
If you happen to have a meter and thermocouple laying around, or one of
those IR thermometers with the laser (useful for measuring the cat's
temperature) it might be nice to know if the CPUs are actually heating
up that much, or if it's a hardware or software problem.
It also might be interesting to see if the heat sinks are heating up.
If they're not, but the CPUs are, then you're not transferring the heat
away from the CPU for some reason. You can probably test this yourself
if your thumb is properly calibrated.
