But, as said in a spec, I can't remember which one now, there are too many, the relative value read from DTS is accurate approaching to TjMax. The accuracy deteriorates to +-10C at 50C. Any DTS reading below 50C should be considered to indicate only a temperature below 50C and not a specific temperature. So, the value around 50C can't be taken as real chip temperature. I would like this issue could be confirmed by more users to avoid it as a particular case. At the meantime, I still looking for a laptop with T5450, this may take some time.
