Gigabyte RTX 5060 sensor stability in Sword and Fairy 7

This experience taught me about firmware flaws. On a PCIe 4.0 x16 link, I found the Gigabyte RTX 5060 native sensor has a 'logic dead zone' when switching between low and high loads. I used CPU-Z to force a 1000ms sampling interval. VRAM stayed stable between 6.2GB - 6.8GB, peaking at 7.2GB, but during fast screen transitions, the temp would jump from 65℃ to 70℃ instantly. Comparing this to HWiNFO's raw register readings, the actual difference was only 2℃. The software algorithm is overcompensating. Even with a fixed sampling rate, you can't fix the physical precision of the sensor, which has an inherent deviation of ±3℃ under full load. This is a nightmare for precision overclocking, often tricking users into lowering voltage unnecessarily.
