Note: The "Intel" bug that I also reported was the 0c min temp reading. I worked with Intel's tech support who reconfirmed that was an issue, and later resolved it with a microcode update that MSI eventually implemented (assuming it was the 12900KS supported bios release).
Ticket:

Thanks for your cooperation in advance!
Best Regards,
