What on earth does this sensors output (using k10temp) mean?

I was able to install sensors, but I can't make any sense of the output. Does the thermister temp (temp3) mean that my CPU is over 100 degrees? How is that even possible? It's nearly idle and surely my computer would have fried already. I'd appreciate any translation.

It means the sensor config file for your specific sensor chip is incorrect, or you have the wrong module installed. I assume you ran sensors-detect? Look and see what chip you have, get your exact motherboard model # and visit http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices to see if there are some changes you need to make to the /etc/sensors3.conf file.

I'm pretty sure that the CPU temp is this one

temp1:       +45.5°C  (high = +70.0°C)

Don't know about the 102°C part though.
