The 128°C reading comes from your motherboard's NCT6798 sensor chip. Looking at your sensors output:

CPUTIN: +127.5°C  ALARM

This is a known issue with many motherboards - the CPUTIN thermistor is either not connected or reporting garbage values. The actual CPU temps are correct in coretemp-isa-0000 ().36

Workaround: Pulse filters sensors by type. The 128°C is being picked up from the nct6798 chip. You can configure your kernel to ignore that sensor, or add entries to /etc/sensors.d/ to hide the bad readings from lm-sensors.

This isn't a Pulse bug - it's accurately reporting what lm-sensors provides.
