I’m running openSUSE 12.1 64 bit KDE
When I run sensors in the terminal it displays:
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +95.5°C (crit = +97.0°C)
However it’s not even close to actually being this hot. When I run it in windows it reports around 66C.
My laptop sometimes shutsd own (due to reaching 97C).

how did it run with 11.4?
if a lot cooler, then i’d guess you need to fall back to 11.4 before you
fry your hardware, and once the hardware is safe, log the bug…do NOT
miss doing that (unless you suspect you may have done something to cause
the problem, like maybe: overclocking, let dust/dirt/soot build up in
cooling system, miss set power management, installed conflicting
software, etc etc etc)
or, maybe keep the install, but instead of using it, run from a 11.4
live CD…
maybe others know how to quick fix the temp problem, but if you mess
around and burn it . . .

Had same problem, but openSUSE is not a problem. Problem is burnt thermal paste and dust jammed heatsink ribs.
Changing thermal paste to a quality one (used Arctic x14), my temp dropped from 96 C to 51 C
