If it got to 68C in 46 sec, did the fan come on then and stop it from

The fan was on. It stabilized at 68 C. It didn't decline.
Temp in /proc could be lying. I've only used sensors. Many times I've
had to calibrate it though, in sensors.conf, by comparing what sensors
says to what the bios says under similar conditions: Boot to runlevel 3,
check sensors, wait for stable temp, reboot and check bios temp, adjust
sensors.conf and repeat.
I don't know sensors
I do cpu load tests with:
$ perl -e 'while(1){}'
Takes 100% of one CPU.
... and I'll bet it doesn't overheat your machine.
It did on my P4 when the heatsink clamp (spidery-looking thingy)
cracked. Only showed up under load.
