A fissure in the thermal bonding compound between the chip and the heat spreader, or a loose heatspreader anchor screw causing the spreader to lose fit to the chip. Either can result from a fall or other shock, or a manufacturing defect.

Thank you for you reply, I'll make note of this if I go to a repair shop.
Just not sure how the processor definitely works very smooth, very fast, just like as if I restarted it whenever I take it out of the fridge, but the sensor is somehow reading ~200º.
