Went digging around in my laptop's firmware for a thing and discovered that I am having a slight Thermal Issue apparently

Photograph of the page in a BIOS setup tool showing the current values of the temperature sensors. They're all very large numbers like 62735.65531°C, except the last one, which is -127°C. The CPU fan is supposedly spinning at 29811 rpm. The laptop is, notably, not emitting any smoke.

your laptop has evolved into some kind of completely unheard of semiconductor which could be used to make more efficient solar panels.

Does it feel as hot as it says it is?

Nope! It is running at normal laptop temperatures, as far as I can tell.
(Linux says numbers between 28-52C, which I also do not trust, but that's at least in normal electronics operating range)

28 does sound low. I've noticed some weird scaling issues on some hardware, but overall data presented by sensor controller seem consistent and accurate when scaling is applied correctly. YMMV. Absolutely nuts to see such an issue in bios lol.
