Ok thank you very much. Can you explain some points that i don't understand (sorry, i'ml french!!) :
I don't understand the term "HSF" and "TIM" (sorry!)
Hey There,
HSF stands for your heatsink, and TIM is Thermal Interface Material (the stuff that goes between the Heatsink and CPU to make the contact better/ more efficent).
If by some chance its a thermal event thats doing this cleaning off the old TIM and reapplying will also allow you to reseat your heatsink as well in case for some odd reason its contact isn't as good.
Odd that this would happen but not entirely unheard of. TIM can degrade from constant heat cycling (well the cheaper stuff can).

Does not matter. You need to rule out of the sensor is broken or not.
Even when it idles confirms that the sensor is working and not faulty when he reads the same sensor with a external program.
Thus checking BIOS before you going to work on your cooler.
If CoreTemp Reads some oddities you'll see it since it polls the same info the BIOS receives.
Unless in BIOS it shows 100 degrees at idle (which is doubful since he is getting a range of temps) then its hard to see if the sensor is truly at fault.
At the point where he is, I am corolating the two data sets to figure out what the issue is, so personally speaking I'd rather like to see a TIM reapplication at this point.
