Running OPNsense 26.1.6_2 (amd64) on a Protectli FW4B.

I have the thermal setting configured to use Intel coretemp kernel module. The numbers on the dashboard disagree with the numbers from the sysctl output.

Right now on the dashboard, it shows 5 numbers:

CPU 0: 47 C

CPU 1: 47 C

CPU 2: 41 C

CPU 3: 39 C

Zone 0: 26.9C

Yet from the CLI at about the same time I see

% sysctl dev.cpu.{0,1,2,3}.temperature hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature

dev.cpu.0.temperature: 40.0C

dev.cpu.1.temperature: 40.0C

dev.cpu.2.temperature: 38.0C

dev.cpu.3.temperature: 36.0C

hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 26.9C

Why don't the CPU temperatures align? That's a significant difference. Is the dashboard picking the numbers from a different place? The CPU 0 temps are regularly (but not always) +7 and the CPU 2 are +3 on the dashboard.
