    I used Sisoft Sandra to check my temperatures and this is what worries me:
    GPU (8600 GS on idle): 62 degrees
    Memory: 110 degrees!!!

    However I can't feel the heat at all... are my sensors broken??

    As long as your CPU, GPU, and HD look ok, then you are fine. What may seem hot to you isn't hot to silicon.
