This doesn't look good.
Ah, it's a solved bug, at least if you are running wheezy/sid:

This looks like the CPU sensor. It is still a bit high but dependending
on the CPU model it could be in the safe range.

Ah, this seems your VGA card's sensor.

Yep. They now make more sense. But take an eye to the CPU temp, it should
not exceed its limits (neither 74°C nor 95°C are good numbers).
Is this a notebook? Notebooks CPUs tend to be more heat and they support
higher values for T junction.
