"Probably", but not guaranteed. This isn't a normal thing to have happen, even with overclocked chips. The temperature sensors used for thermal protection aren't usually the first thing to break.

It might not be temperature sensor itself but circuitry measuring it. Yeah sensor is "just a diode" but that needs amplifier and ADC to get to the rest of the system
