Bad sensor or is the CPU really that hot?

I have a unit that the CPU is reading 222c

Do you think it is a bad sensor reading or is it really that hot?

We remotely rebooted the unit twice. Then we upgraded to 1.4.7 and still had reading between 220 and 224. After that we decided to make a site visit and do a swap out as we did not want a failure at a time when would be harmful to the customers. As a last 'hail Mary" play and since we were on site with a programmed replacement we power cycled the unit and it came back normal. The reason we tried this out is, our site techs carry a handheld FLIR imager and we could tell there was no part inside that hot or else the case would have had a big 'hot spot' where that processor is.

hmmm, thanks for the update, we will look into this, as this is a software bug as the max possible temp is 125 degrees C.
