Note the inconsistencies between the Tcase temp and core temp in the last two replies
This is on the rare side and related to motherboard bios revision and or software corruption.
Referring to Tcase as T-junction is just plain silly.
T-juntion (or TCC activation) is fixed and between 85 and 100 C it is not software readable but closes enough to reference the actual digital temperature reading which the software calculates for you.
A Tcase reading in the 50s under load is well within the thermal guidelines and a temperature of 60C max is fine. (The advice was incorrect)
I have no opinion of TAT that I can share being that its design was intended for the use in the mobile platform
The problem is the discrepancy where Tcase is higher than core temp.
This makes both readings unreliable.
Update your bios and use the motherboard reporting software to monitor your temps.
Perhaps this will resolve the issue but there are no guarantees.

You’re bold.
Just an opinion,
Using an IR thermometer is acceptable for cooking a Turkey or even approximating ram temperature but highly inaccurate for thermal analysis that refers to internal temperatures or at least Tcase which requires an appropriate heat sink to stay within the thermal design guidelines.
