Seems high to me. Mine is usually no more than 36 C under load. Even my GPU rarely gets above 50 C under load. My computer is certainly not high end but normal temps (No Load) are: Case 28 C, CPU 28 C, PSU 28 C, GPU 42 C, HDD's 31 C; and (Full Load) Case 32 C, CPU 40 C, PSU 36 C, GPU 50 C, HDD's 35 C. A load for me Call of Duty, Rise and Fall, Quake 4, or Brothers in Arms after a couple of hours, with all settings on high at my max display settings. Maybe a lot of dust, poor air flow, or a failing temp sensor. If it is really that hot the PSU may fail soon.
Then the logical answer would be that the sensor has been giving bad information for years. 70.5 C is above 150 F and that is considered desert conditions for testing purposes, at least for a military specification. I can assume you are using comercial brand equipment that does not meet "mil specs" therefore the sensor is malfunctioning or being read incorrectly.

I would appriciate if someone does. I think the heat is killing my hdd.
So the temperature sensor is giving out erratic info ?Cyborg-21
Since it has been giving similar information for "years", the sensor is not giving out the proper data or is being read incorrectly, cannot be a problem, or you would notice other problems with the rest of the system, erratic shutdowns or GPU faults. Old story - If it is not broke, do not fix it.
