While playing Dead Space 2 Remake, my G.SKILL Trident Z temp readings occasionally spike and then crash. Is the sensor glitches? Do I need a new baseline?

These instantaneous data drifts are usually just electrical noise caused by overly aggressive polling rates. According to report GS-SEN-04, on Win11 24H2 at 6400MHz, HWinfo64 showed memory temps shifting between 42°C - 48°C, but with ghost spikes hitting 70°C. I entered the BIOS monitoring menu and shifted the sensor update interval from 1s to 5s, then enabled average-value filtering in the software. Consequently, the fake heat spikes vanished completely, and the temperature curve locked into a tight 44°C - 46°C range. I had to sacrifice sheer real-time speed for accuracy, but I finally got a truthful trend of the hardware's health. The anxiety of imagining my RAM melting was gone, replaced by a feeling of total control.
