Is it safe to assume temperatures reading 121c are normal for the thinkpad-isa-0000?

I’m asking because I was looking on unix.stackexchange.com and found an old post with the same readings as mine for thinkpad-isa-0000: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/697212/arch-linux-cpu-temprerature-is-125c-thinkpad-x390

My last question: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/why-are-my-temperatures-for-thinkpad-hwmon-temp-5-6-showing-111c-121c/95636

Its not clear what that is the temperature of.

What make of CPU do you have?
I do not see the Intel coretemp reports not an intel CPU?

Sorry about that.

I have an Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU.

Given the coretemp is fine I do not thing the temp4 and temp5 are connected to anything. You can ignore them.

If you care enough you can edit the config to remove them from sensors.
