But you didn't tell what sensors you were reporting. Is that coretemp? Some ACPI value? A motherboard sensor (e.g. lm0)? >cpu0: "12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900KS" That's a selected 241W chip that may heat up to > 100 C (Tjmax = 115 C) and usually requires a liquid cooler. Idle temperature between 50C and 60C are normal.
