Heat Sensors from CPU

Is it possible for heat sensors to misread the temperatures? I was wondering since all of a sudden recently the temps went a few C above normal. But when I peeked around inside the box, it didn't feel nearly at hot as it was saying it was.

Suggestions?

A human doesn't have the ability to sense a difference in temperature of a few degrees accurately. I'd simply find a second device to read the temperature inside the case. If you're really concerned, just leave the side off your computer until you can verify the temperature increase or buy an Apple and leave this third-world PC computing experience in the past. ;)
