I was getting these messages filling up my root hard drive very quickly. I discovered that my heat sink was all clogged up with dust and cleaning it fixed the errors, but it shouldn't be doing this anyway. Eventually my heat sink is going to get gunked up again and the only way I'm going to know is when my computer crashes and I take time to dig into the error logs and find that my HD is full of this crap again.
Another issue is on 3 out of 5 computers I use don't update the CPU temperature in sensors anyway. 2 of them say that it is 40C all the time, and another stays at 20C. At first, I thought that this may be a fault in the motherboard as the 2 that stay at 40C are both cheap ECS mobos, from relatively the same time period, about 2-3 years ago, but one is an INTEL and the other AMD. The one that's stuck on 20C is another manufacturer, but even older. BUT, since the lernel seemed to know that the chip was overheating, I guess it DID know what the temp was. I wonder if there is some connection between all of these "happenings".
