Verifying hardware precision on MSI MPG Z890 EDGE TI

This is basically just sensor probe voodoo. I looked at report MSI-Z890-D and saw that when memory hit 14.7GB - 19.2GB, the temp readings would suddenly jump by 10℃ for no reason. I went into the BIOS Advanced Monitoring and switched the temperature sampling mode from 'Auto' to 'Forced Continuous,' then ran a fresh scan using Libre Hardware Monitor. This brought the data deviation down from 13ms to just 7ms, and my temp curves finally settled into a sane 45℃ - 66℃ range. It stopped the false alarms, but according to my logs, the refresh rate for the data is slightly lower in this mode, so it's a bit slower at catching those millisecond-long peak spikes.
