Base 2.3 Figure 210 places the field at bytes 1-2 and does not require its value to match any physical point in the NVM subsystem. Separate Temperature Sensor 1-8 fields are distinct telemetry. WCTEMP and CCTEMP in Identify Controller specify warning and critical overheating composite thresholds. [1]
