Some usage scenarios: I want to control fan speeds on the difference between ambient temperature and component temperature. I need to designate one temperature sensor as ambient and have its reading subtracted from the other sensors before those are used to control the fan speed curve. This would stop the fans racing pointlessly on a hot day when the component is already only a little above ambient. I want to control a fan or a pump on the highest of a number of temperature sensors. For example, with a single water loop running through GPU and CPU blocks, the pump should be controlled by whichever is hotter. For display simplification purposes, I want to be able to combine several temperature sensors to drive a single graph. For example I have four RAM modules which I would like to combine into 'RAM Temperature'. In some cases the mean value would be appropriate, in some the highest value. To reduce audible ramping up and down of fans, there should be a variable damping time that applies to slowing the fan down (i.e. it would ramp up immediately as the temperature increases, but would only ramp down slowly as the temperature decreases). The above and more could be abstracted into the concept of 'virtual sensors'. These would be user-defined sensors which would be a specified mathematical function of one or more physical sensors. Once defined by the user these could be used wherever a physical sensor would be used at present (fan or pump control, graph on the Dashboard etc.

System: Windows 10 Pro 21H1, 19043.1165 Some customizations to the Dashboard are not being retained through a system restart. Specifically when I drag sensors out from Commander Pro and Vengeance RGB Pro group tiles onto their own individual tiles and hide the original group tiles, those individual tiles are no longer present after a system restart but the group tiles remain hidden. Individual tiles from non-Corsair hardware ARE retained however: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE all work as expected.

Thanks everyone - seems that the load measurement is not very good (it is not just that it is non-linear since the higher temperature actually corresponds with a lower load measurement). Thanks to jamie1073 I can confirm the temperature does go much higher with other Prime95 settings, but without the load indicating any higher. In contrast to the high CPU temperature, the GeForce RTX 2070 Super (with Corsair waterblock, on the same HydroX loop, after the CPU block) never exceeds 55c.

Ryzen 9 3900X, HydroX 35- 40c water temperature. Unloaded: Load reported by iCUE - 1%; Package Temperature - 52c Loading with Prime95: Load reported by iCUE - 100%; Package Temperature - 63c Loading with Folding@home: Load reported by iCUE - 95%; Package Temperature - 84c This huge temperature difference under approximately the same load seems insane and the higher figure is a little disappointing for such high-end cooling. However there is no thermal throttling in either case' so that at least is encouraging. Anyone else seeing similar results?
