Bent pins = bad sensor?

Okay so recently I got my AS5 and tried to reinstall it with it on...

So I take out my XP-90 and 2 pins are bent... I bend it back, I follow instructions on arcticsilver.com and I get okay idle temps and load temps.
But it goes at 50°C max for like 4 minutes then boom 93.5°C on load. (p95)

So I am like crap reseat again.

Same thing when it goes on top load it goes to 93.5°C. Okay now idle temp readings look okay, but what did I touch to make the temp sensor go balistic on me? I touch the heatsink and its really warm when its above 50°C. Now I can't even compare the AS5 temp with my old temp becuase of this sensor.

Like should i reset bios or what? Anyone got a clue? Load temps are always 93.5°C. (Got it off everest)
