Add the average temperature next to the current temperature for the Gamma #475

Because the temperature fluctuates so drastically with the Gamma, reading the actual temperature is difficult. It's almost impossible to tell whether the improved cooling is making a difference or if it’s ineffective.

Wouldn't it be beneficial to have a second reading showing the average temperature of the last 2-3 minutes next to the current temperature?

The exact time frame would need to be tested and evaluated, but it would make life easier for many users.

I think temp should be a moving average instead of instantaneous due to the huge variations. I often get overheat warnings from my undercoated and underclocked Gamma, but by touch it is running even cooler than OC Supra with same 52pi cooler. I have zero confidence about the accuracy of temperature reading from the Gamma.

We're trying to figure out the reason for the incorrect temp readings on some chips. I don't think we should average clearly bad readings.
