Hotend still reading wrong even after numerous fix attempts
I am running a Goliath Hotend. This started a few months back and through it was a fluke, however I can no longer use the printer anymore at this rate.
I am getting ADC Temp out of range on the hotend.
First weird issue that happened it was showing hotter then normal. 55C on the hotend when usually my stuff idles at 23C. This didn't cause any errors per say but I went ahead restarted the printer just to be sure. Still showed 55C. Left the printer be while I worked on something else, came back and it was 23C like I expected. Printed on it for 60-80 hours without issue.
I started to noticed the extruder would sometimes start to under extrude. I chalked it up to me messing with my filament paths and maybe having too much restriction. Again left the printer be for about a day. All of a sudden it went into ADC out of range. Restarted the machine then saw it was staying at below normal temps 2-3C so this time 20C cooler then expected. After it sitting idle for about 30mins it went into ADC error again.
I was messing with the hotend due to my prior thoughts about the filament path being messed up. So I thought well maybe I damaged the thermistor. So ordered 2 replacement PT1000 thermistors.
It is still having issues. Instantly going into ADC out of range errors. Thought maybe I didn't terminate it well enough, still nothing. Tried the other one same thing. Tried a different port, same thing. I grabbed a Generic 3950 Thermistor that I know works. Changed Sensor Type, it is showing -53C (changed limits for troubleshooting purposes)
So now Idk what is going on, something wrong with the board, would a Klipper update potentially fix this. idk.

Goliath Heat Creep
I am at a crossroad here. Right now I run a Goliath Air Cooled hotend with 0.6mm CHT Nozzle. I also run a CPAP. Let 'er eat at 100% while doing PLA. I've noticed that as long as I am doing large prints that have consistent extrusion, it woks great. However when it has to do intricate parts where my flow drop from 22-32³/s to something like 10-12. I start to run into heat creep issues. The filament will start to twist and jam. I am running 1mm/40mm's retraction, and 215C.
So I am trying to decide. Is this hot end setup too much for what I am running? Should I drop down to say a Rapido with the settings I print at. Should I try to print faster, if so what have others gotten on a 500 Ratrig setup. I run 160mm/s perimeters and 230mm/s infill. I have nearly 800hrs on the clock for this setup, and only notice issue when filament is flowing at low volumes.
