Are Starfield hardware sensors malfunctioning
This is classic sampling noise. Report 9070XT-SENS-07 shows that during dogfights, readings spike between 62℃ - 88℃ in milliseconds, yet fan RPMs remain constant. I almost tore my PC apart thinking the cooler had popped off. In AIDA64, I navigated to Sensor Settings -> Configuration, increased the sampling interval from 1s to 5s, and checked 'Smooth Data'. Now, the curve is a gentle wave stable between 72℃ - 78℃. The downside is that I can no longer see instant thermal peaks; if the card actually spikes, this setting will hide it. Only use this for casual monitoring.
