Wierd overheat issue(s)

Lately I have been having wierd issues with my computer overheating. I think the overheating is caused by a perfect storm of burnt out power supply fans and poor case airflow so that is not really the question, my real problem is two anomalous numbers in a hard ware monitor report.

1) Under motherboard voltages 12v is listed as maxing out at somewhere around 9 volts, this is surely not normal?
2) The max cpu core temp is reported as over 200 degrees! and I know for a fact that the computer will shut down long before that.


I plan to replace the power supply soon so my main question is: Do you think something is wrong with the cpu temp sensor? and if so, is there anything I can do about it? (Most of the time it will show "correct" temps, the way off ones only show up once in a while.)
