Most sensors are not directly part of the chip they are recording. they usually are nearby and then there is a calculated offset from what the sensor displays to make it more accurate. This to me suggests that the software is applying a second offset or an incorrect one.

I've learned that temperature sensors, or the software that reports their output aren't always reliable. I recently put a new Kingston SSD in my dinosaur. After it was running, apparently flawlessly for several hours, I checked Psensor. It tells me that SSD is at 99° C. I shut the machine down, opened it an carefully touched the SSD. It wasn't even warm to the touch.
