i'd be worried because it's running hotter than it did before, and it's not so hard to try again. even if the sensor involved is reading way high, it shouldn't drift over time so you are definitely hotter. as far as a thermal couple, it's not really practical unless you want to spend over $100 and learn allot about thermocouples. for one thing you'd need a tiny one and then you'd have to glue it to the side of the chip, and the hair thin wires on the small ones are easy to break.
