MSI B450 + Ryzen 3600 - CAM displaying wrong CPU temp

As above anyone else having issues with CAM on the beta MSI BIOS that supports the Ryzen 3000 series?

HWinfo seems to display correctly,

Interesting.

What about Ryzen Balanced vs. Windows Balanced Plan?

By now, you may know that 3rd Gen Ryzen heralds the return of the Ryzen Balanced power plan (only for 3rd Gen CPUs; everyone else can use the regular ol' Windows plan).

I had this option with my R7 1700 are they suggesting it skipped the 2xxx series?

Hopefully my issue is linked but I think it runs deeper as my temperature is locked at 50c in CAM and doesn't move from 50c.

Some real anomalies around different software with different readings it seems.

I've found my vcore has different readings also between Cpu-z & RM. I am using a BIOS offset however so I'm thinking this may be due to that.

Scanning Reddit it seems it's an NZXT CAM GUI bug for anyone also using Zen2+CAM.

They have a preview software available now that correctly reports temps on Ryzen 3rd Gen.
